Calling all fans of R.E.M and The Beatles, Israel-American Singer, Yoav Gerber has released a new EP entitled ‘Noon to Nine’. With leading track ‘Inspirational Song’, the single sets the sound for Gerbers new sound and new project.
Yoav Gerber has had a previous past with the music industry but is using his new EP to re-introduce himself to fans across the globe. Previously releasing two albums under the stage name Friends of John’s, after a five year break Yoav has found a new direction.
Showcasing his powerful vocal, the EP contains influences of both rock, indie, and dance-pop, and a prominent homage to R.E.M, making it a multi-genre collection of work. Working with skilled producer Shai Saadia, the EP was created with unique melodies and complex instrumentals.
‘I’m not impressed by most things happening in music today, and think we have an image first culture… all in all, we have people who have never read a book writing lyrics, and other people who can’t tell a chord from a cord writing songs, so we shouldn’t be surprised that this is what we’re getting.’ – Yoav Gerber
With an abundance of new music on the way, Gerber released ‘Somewhere in Bretagne’ on August 30th and has announced that ‘Inspirational Song #12’, and ‘What Kind of Day Has It Been’ is scheduled for release on December 1st.
