Yes Recruit Trevor Horn For New Album
Expect Fly From Here at some point this summer
In a brand new interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, bassist Chris Squire revealed that the band were expecting to wrap up work on their brand new Horn produced LP in April for a summer release.
"In my opinion, Trevor is the best producer in the world," he told Rolling Stone. "We're really happy with the music so far. Being back with Trevor sort of felt like going back in time, but it's also really in the present. We've all grown a lot over the years."
The album is centred around the 20-minute title track "Fly From Here," which dates back to the sessions to their 1980 LP Drama. "We played it live on the 1980 tour when it was just five minutes long," says Squire. "Now it's an extravaganza!"
There are four other songs on the album, which Squire says are around six minutes apiece. "Those are brand new and the writing was very collaborative," says Squire. "The sound is somewhat indicative of our 1980s work." Geoff Downes, who played keyboards with Yes during the Drama period, returned to play on Fly From Here.
