Yur Mum Unleash Nature’s Wrath On Upcoming Single “Anhangá”

Yur Mum will explore the tale of Anhangá (Ah-nyan-gah) on their upcoming single that is due out on April 26th. Anhangá is a native Brazilian myth about a shapeshifting god who protects fauna and flora. Present in Brazilian indigenous folklore, Anhangá is a protective spirit of nature who can take the form of various jungle animals. It is believed that the spirit punishes those who hunt and kill pups and pregnant females. Part of the duo’s upcoming new album, Duality, Anhangá is a unique post-punk track infused with Brazilian musicality and is Yur Mum’s first release with lyrics in English and their native Portuguese. It’s intro is sung as a form of traditional chanting, then it takes an unexpected turn with a segway that creates seismic waves. Anhangá’s tale is told in English, as the music becomes more atmospheric and transcending, making room for the vocals. Although don’t get too comfortable, the trance rapidly turns into a nightmare, as Anhangá unleashes its wrath upon us with one of the heaviest hooks ever played by Yur Mum.

Yur Mum have been building up to this moment since their Tropical Fuzz album was released in 2021, when the Brazilian-born duo began experimenting with punk, hardcore, sludge and Brazilian music. Although Anhangá challenges the listener, it provides sonic rewards, It’s not your average rock track but it shows the artists aren’t afraid to experiment and break some rules. Anhangá is recommended for fans of The Melvins, Os Mutantes, Nação Zumbi, Brutus, IDLES, Mclusky and Future Of The Left. Anhangá drops on the 26th of April, along with their new album, Duality, which is available on pre-order via Cargo Records. Yur Mum are also hosting an Album Launch Party on the 26th of April at London’s The Shacklewell Arms with tickets available here.
