With their ecstatic and singular sound, experimental rock quartet YHWH Nailgun displays an innate ability to translate a primitive spirit into a modern form. It’s no coincidence that polyrhythmic metallic drums dominate their soundscape acting as both percussive and melodic elements. In anticipation of their live performance at Le Guess Who? 2025, tune into the band's new KEXP session.
Widely appreciated by the critics, YHWH Nailgun's debut album, 45 Pounds, was listed as one of the best releases of 2025 so far by Pitchfork, The Guardian, NME, The Quietus and more. On the record, a dialogue unfolds in the front as vocalist Zack Borzone shouts - or murmurs - back at the drums, while electric guitar and synths weave in and out, punctuating the exchange with sharp, evasive melodies.
YHWH Nailgun perform at Le Guess Who? 2025 on Friday 7 November. Also performing at the festival are a.o. Unwound, The Fiery Furnaces, V/Z, Daisy Rickman, M(h)aol, and many more.
