“Miserable” marks the beginning of a new chapter for YYY, whose upcoming album draws on a distinctive constellation of influences — MGMT, Animal Collective, Tame Impala’s Lonerism, and the Mamas and the Papas — each refracted through his characteristically restless creative vision. True to the YYY sound, the single builds melodic hooks around droll lyrics, and an evolving, genre-fluid sonic identity that rewards close listening.

““Each track stands alone in its own right. YYY’s stylistic approach of genre diversification has created an album that feels more like an artistic work than simply singles and filler songs.””
