The duo’s third album, ‘Attractive Forces’, is released on May 22nd via Quartertone/ Right Track Recordings/ Universal and preceded by the first single ‘Affection’ on March 25th.
The album was recorded in London, Cornwall, and Macedonia in 2024 –2025 and produced by Mark Vernon and mixed in Bristol by TJ Allen( Portishead, Bat For Lashes, Hannah Peel). The album includes 7 brand new songs written by the duo, along with a version of The Velvet Underground’s Pale Blue Eyes originally released in 1969.
The album closes with YOVA’s reimagining of Macedonian group Memorija’s 1989 hit ‘Fire Under The Stars (Ogan Pod Zvezdite)’ written just before the break up of Yugoslavia in the early 1990’s As with their previous two albums, YOVA have continued to collaborate with the collective of Daniel O’Sullivan ( Sunn O))), Grumbling Fur), Alex Thomas ( John Cale, Anna Calvi ), Terry Edwards (PJ Harvey, Nick Cave) David Rhodes (Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel) and the veteran pedal steel guitar player BJ Cole ( Beck, Spiritualized).
‘Affection’ channels Jova’s beguiling voice into a delicate balance where vulnerability and strength coexist:
“I hear perfection the further the numbers go. I never knew an affection like this could exist."
Tommy Rodger: The modern storyteller. Born and raised in South West London. He writes to be honest, even when he lies.
