Centered around Mancunion frontman Elliott Williams, Y.O.U are also known as Your Own Universe.
Y.O.U have been supporting their friends and fellow Mancunions The 1975 on their UK tour and are set to release a new track ‘Heavy Crown’ on November 10th.
Elliott Williams, a rare talent brought to the attention of Parisian tastemaker and Tigersushi owner, Joakim Bouaziz, who immediately invited him over to his Paris studios to record a few tracks that would form the basis of Y.O.U’s forthcoming album out later this year. Both artists bonded over a love of hardware synths and 80s New Wave pop records. It was deemed a logical succession of events for Y.O.U’s first outing to be released on the cult label.
The music – well it’s a tough one to pigeonhole but then so is all the best music. A mixture of 80s synth pop, nu disco and house with a nod to the legendary ‘French Touch’ sound probably comes closest to a description but really you need to listen to it yourself to decide. This eclectic, forward thinking approach has placed Y.O.U in an esteemed class of artists and Elliot’s ethos mirrored that of Tigersushi’s varied roster.
