(((SIGNALS))) Yoyo Club 66 – Horst
A signal comes before the full transmission. Signals is Doomnation Radio’s space for bands to tell us about a new track and what it points toward: why this song came first, where it lives on the record, and what world it carries inside it. Three questions, the rest is up to them.
Yoyo Club 66 are an instrumental duo from Paris and Dijon/Burgundy, France, built around three strings and a drum kit. Their tools are analog and physical: White Rat pedals, Tone Bender fuzz, sub-octave generators. The debut EP, four tracks releasing on 8 May 2026, arrives under a self-coined tag: offside post-metal.
(1) Why did you choose this track as the first release from the EP?
“We chose this track because it holds the pulse of the entire EP. At 60 BPM, it immediately establishes a hypnotic tension where time feels distorted- somewhere between slowness and a strange sense of acceleration. The title itself is a quiet nod to a certain ‘Horst’- a figure whose raw, imposing presence inspired a form of dread. It’s not an introduction, but a doorway. It settles the dust and invites the listener to step into that visceral ‘in-between’ state. It felt like the most natural way to reveal the weight, the space, and the journey that inhabit the rest of the record.”
(2) Where is this track located on the EP?
“It’s the opening, but in our minds, it’s more like the beginning of the end that won’t end. We placed it first to lock the listener into a cycle immediately. It sets a path for us, as in the future, the goal is definitely to dive deeper into darker and heavier territories.”
(3) If this track were a scene in a movie, what happens in it?
“It would be a scene where nothing moves, yet everything is shifting. Where the silence is so heavy it becomes a sound of its own.”
