BYAMM [2022] - The Anthropomorphic Fantasy EP [Self Released] (Full EP)

A four track EP "The Anthropomorphic Fantasy EP" from UK outfit BYAMM was initially released on Bandcamp and posted here in Feb '22 and reposted in Mar when it was available on the main digital platforms. We said at the time that is was going to be available on vinyl and that day has finally come a year later.

Whilst "Shine" is perhaps the standout, all tracks are pretty good and are all in an 80s groove. I'm not able to find out anything about the band, nor find any other material by them (under that name at least), so I don't know if these are vintage tracks getting their first airing or newly recorded tracks with an old school feel.

We noted that all tracks are written by Barima Yaw Asante and Matthew Myatt, so assumed that the name BYAMM is simply their initials. We now know from the back cover of the vinyl release that the group consists of singers Ade Omotayo (Gorrilaz / Amy Winehouse), Kevin Mark Trail (The Streets / Mike Skinner), Derek Green (Robbie Williams), Sharlene Hector (Basement Jaxx), Emily Holligan (Michael Kiwanuka), bass player Dale Davis (Amy Winehouse’s Music Director), guitarist Tony Reme (Incognito/OMAR), guitarist Rob Harris (Jamiroquai) & Barima Yaw Asante (songwriter / keys / producer ) & Matt Myatt (beats / co-production)…aka the initials BYAMM as we suspected. So the quality of the EP is therefore not surprising.

BYAMM [2022] - The Anthropomorphic Fantasy EP [Self Released] (Full EP)

A new four track EP "The Anthropomorphic Fantasy" EP by UK outfit BYAMM. "Shine" has a throwback feel yet still maintains contemporary appeal.

Whilst "Shine" is perhaps the standout, all tracks are pretty good and are all in an 80s groove. I'm not able to find out anything about the band, nor find any other material by them (under that name at least), so I don't know if these are vintage tracks getting their first airing or newly recorded tracks with an old school feel.

The EP is available from Bandcamp only with a release date of 11 Mar 2022 but you can download it now so don't understand them putting a release date. It will also be made available on vinyl later in year, they are quoting summer.
