After releasing a highly acclaimed collaborative EP with musician-comedian Reggie Watts – Songs From A Celestial City – the LA-via-Austin queer dance/electronic trio CAPYAC shows no signs of slowing down. They keep the party going with their new song “U Know Y.” It will truly get you in that euphoric state of mind with an epic build stemming from the lyrical loop, groovy bassline, and house beat. Band members Delwin, Eric, and Obie wrote the song to ease the pain of the daily doldrums through Detroit and French-inspired electronic music.
The band elaborated: “When the first lung-bearing fish grew legs and crawled up on that barren igneous surface 375 million years ago, surely it felt in its toes (at that time, a sort of fin-like proto-toe) how the lichen growing on the rough and porous lava rock softened its step. Used to the sweet enveloping cushion of the sea, the fish must have felt an incredible amount of pain stepping onto rock. Everyone is saying that today’s society is just an echo of the Devonian period, and they’re not wrong. We are all Tiktaalik, living in a hostile world we are barely adapted for, grateful for every patch of wet moss we can find. Anyways, this song is about that.”
After kicking off their 2025 tour dates at Treefort Music Festival, CAPYAC is currently on tour supporting Rubblebucket throughout North America before playing two headline shows at Elsewhere in Brooklyn and Chop Shop in Chicago. Known for their energetic live show and penchant for improvisation, they’ll be enthralling audiences around the country with songs old and new.
