London/Melbourne rap duo Teether and Kuya Neil release their long-awaited debut album YEARN IV. YEARN IV captures the brooding and vivid world of two musical outsiders. Raised by the internet, the pair find their voice amid a sea of clashing cultural experiences and sonic histories, finding solace in the isolation of contemporary urban Australia. Recorded in Melbourne and completed in London, the album captures the duo's hyper local yet globally influenced rap sound at its core. Kuya Neil’s drum heavy production collides with Teether's surreal and immersive storytelling, blending thrash metal and club music aesthetics with the echoes of the early internet. Lead single ‘Zoo’ plays with the silent throes of cultural diversity over a paranoid trap instrumental, 'Blush' is a blissed out digital love letter with shimmering autotuned hooks and rave inspired breaks. ‘Chanel’ (featuring Indigenous Australian songwriter Alice Skye) is a guitar driven lament for Australia’s myopic cultural landscape, fading out with “I’ll never reach my full potential here”.
