TheYGC is a fascinating and unique project. Shilling puts himself in the mind of the first man to go into space. His eccentric urbanite lo-fi folk centres on Gagarin’s pre-orbital jitters, philosophical musings and whimsical flights of fancy, which compliments his Barrett-ish vocal style perfectly.
Thought-provoking, arty, wonderfully odd and curiously cool, theYGC are wittily and boldly original.
