Years & Years
Years & Years
Years & Years are a London-based electronic-pop trio. They formed in 2010, after Mikey moved from Australia and met Emre. Founding member Noel Leeman left the band in 2013. Shortly afterwards, Olly Alexander became their frontman after Mikey heard him singing in the shower.
The trio melds electronica with soul-baring, confessional style lyrics. Their first EP, Traps, was released in 2013. They followed up with three more EP’s, Real, Take Shelter, and Y&Y in 2014 and 2015. Their first full-length album Communion was released on July 10, 2015.
In April of 2018, Years & Years began to tease fans with talks of a new record via Facebook word games and their official newsletter, hinting the album would drop by the “seventh third quarter moon,” which falls on July 6, 2018.
