This is the first official release by vessels following 2006’s self-released vessels EP which the band sold on tour and via their MySpace, and has gained them a steadily growing fanbase across the UK and beyond.

Having met in Leeds and been friends/bandmates for a few years, vessels was spawned in late 2005, consisting of members Tim Mitchell (drums/beats), Martin Teff (bass/guitar/synth), Tom Evans (guitar/vocals/keyboards) and Lee J. Malcolm (guitar/vocals/keyboards/producer).

Within months the band was hailed the “tightest, slickest and most musically proficient band I think I''ve ever seen on the unsigned circuit” (https://www.tradebit.com). An eventful Leeds festival appearance, support slots with iLiKETRAiNS, Youthmovies, Jeniferever, The Appleseed Cast and Mono, and courting from Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens and Rob Da Bank followed. 2006 proved to be a whirlwind year for the band.

February 2007 sees the first UK tour for the band, and this will conclude with the release of double-A sided Yuki/Forever The Optimist. The former is a live favourite that the band has opened many a set with. Yuki is characterised by a lot more restraint than previously recorded tracks like The Beast or Take It Outside (from the 2006 EP). Blending soft vocals with electronics as well as the trademark build-ups, Yuki was conceived by guitarist/vocalist/ producer Lee J. Malcolm in a dream!

Forever The Optimist started life as a groove-based instrumental track, but evolved rapidly into what effectively became “Leeds 6 collective project”, as friends were drafted in to add layers of vocals which contribute to its hypnotic and triumphant feel, very much inspired by Broken Social Scene. This open minded strategy has produced a track unlike any of their previous works, and bodes well for the future of this young band.
