The War Yaks, a rock band from New Jersey, is getting attention with their first album, “Bifurcate”. The band is led by Nat Rusciani, a talented woman who writes, produces, and sings the songs. They are bringing a new sound to the progressive rock genre. Nat Rusciani’s experience making “Bifurcate” was very personal. She chose the title before her old band broke up, but it became even more critical when she went through a divorce. Over two years, Nat learned how to produce music to keep making it. The songs on “Bifurcate” helped her deal with these significant changes in her life, making the album a symbol of her strength and creativity.
The War Yaks’ music is unique because it’s both entertaining and catchy, even though it’s a type of rock music (prog rock) that’s usually complicated. Their songs have unusual arrangements that feature a lot of saxophone and piano, giving them a jazzy sound. People who like bands like Thank You, Scientist, Opeth, and Rush will probably enjoy The War Yaks’ music too. The War Yaks’ album “Bifurcate” is about love, loss, and being strong. It combines different music styles, like anime-inspired ballads (“Codriver”), psychedelic jazz (“Shroom Song”), and powerful prog metal (“Bifurcate”).
The band writes lyrics that focus on human feelings and relationships, which differs from most prog rock bands. They want to connect with listeners on a personal level. Nat Rusciani’s partner, Anthony Warga, who plays saxophone and co-writes songs, was a big help in making the album. He worked closely with Nat and supported her. The War Yaks’ first album is a strong start, showing the band has a bright future.
