The Metal Cell Podcast welcomes back the sonic elders of YURT — Andrew Bushe, Steven Anderson, and Boz Mugabe — for an exclusive deep dive into their upcoming album VI – Rippling Mirrors of the Other (2025).
Recorded across Hellfire Studio and Deepinthewoods in Wicklow, YURT’s sixth full-length release is a sprawling, psychedelic, progressive noise odyssey blending prog rock, doom, jazz, kraut, punk, electronics, space-rock, and pure experimental weirdness.
In this track-by-track conversation, we explore:
The creation of The Cormorant Tree, Seventh Is The Skut, Pagpag Variations, From the Maggots Perspective, Shop of Most Auspicious Frog, and Sun Roasted Rodent
How the band approach deconstruction, improvisation, synthesizers, and “ornamental space-rock”
The artwork, sonic philosophy, and the mysterious ecology of frogs, maggots, rodents, and other Yurtian fauna
