Listen: Empty - Yoste

Empty is the latest release from Brisbane-born bedroom singer, songwriter and producer Yoste. With a lush, atmospheric atmospheric and earnest vocals, Empty is a song full of yearning and bubbles with a feeling of untapped desire.

Empty is lifted from Yoste’s forthcoming EP, Try To Be Okay, due February 15. It follows recent single Blue, also featured on the forthcoming EP, and a track that Empty follows on from. Describing the track, Yoste says:

“Empty follows Blue deliberately. In many ways it carries the same themes but finds some resolution. It's about recognising that I will never fully understand most of myself or what's around me, but there's peace in not knowing. Again, I wanted to counterbalance those quite heavy ruminations with positive instrumentation, something people could dance to and not necessarily think about. That's quite key to my approach in general - I want all the songs to have depth for those who care to look, but I don't want to beat anyone over the head with my esoteric angst.”

Let’s hide out, just you and me, no more subtleties. I know now, I’ll never leave, I’m fast asleep. Try to play it cool, late nights getting through, waiting up for you. Falling at your feet, lost in apathy, still you wait for me. Slow light, within my lungs, I’m overcome. We collide and come undone, I lost someone. Try to play it cool, late nights getting through, waiting up for you. Falling at your feet, lost in apathy, still you wait for me.
