\u201c\u2018Illusion\u2019 is my auditory expression of The Conjuring:
Last Rights,\u201d shares Farmiga. \u201cThe Yagas wrote this
song whilst I was in the ectoplasm thick of filming C4.<\/p>\n
The song emerges from a strange convergence of two
events \u2013 my terrified offspring running into my
bedroom, haunted by an out-of-body experience, and
my on-screen child, Judy Warren, experiencing
psychological torment. \u2018Illusion\u2019 is our sonic interpretation of this haunted dreamscape \u2013 the fragile space
between fear and acceptance; the space where you realize that the things in your head may be much more
than just your imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMidnight Minuet, produced by Hawkey (formerly of famed alt-metal band Deadsy), who also produced
\u201cIllusion,\u201d has been hailed as an \u201cunexpected masterpiece,\u201d \u201ca spellbinding sonic journey\u201d and \u201ca delectable
cornucopia of sounds that might be one of the best debuts of 2025.\u201d The 10-song collection is highlighted
by the singles \u201cThe Crying Room,\u201d \u201cShe\u2019s Walking Down,\u201d \u201cLife Of A Widow\u201d and \u201cI Am.\u201d As shown on
Midnight Minuet, The Yagas embody a potent duality of shadow and light, ferocity and tenderness. They
adorn even the darkest moments with unexpected bursts of ineffable beauty. PRESS HERE to listen.
Formed in 2023, The Yagas \u2013 Vera Farmiga (vocals), Renn Hawkey (keys), Jason Bowman (drums), Mark
Visconti (guitar) and Mike Davis (bass) \u2013 took shape after its five members met at Rock Academy (a
Woodstock-based music school run by Bowman) and began playing together in the school\u2019s adult program,
discovering an undeniable musical chemistry. An audacious band with otherworldly origins, the New Yorkbased quintet borrowed their name from the mystical Slavic folklore figure Baba Yaga, believed to devour the souls of the newly deceased to safeguard the fountains of life.<\/p>\n
The quintet wholly sharestheir namesake\u2019s storied penchant for shapeshifting, morphing from metal to industrial to wildly extravagant alt-rock as their songs journey into the strangest depths of the human psyche.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n
Since debuting last fall, The Yagas have amassed over 3 million collective streams and views and earned praise and support from Revolver Magazine,
Metal Hammer, Classic Rock Magazine, NME, The Noise\/Ones To Watch, Stereogum, Blabbermouth,
Bloody Disgusting, Rock Cellar Magazine, and more. Creating a truly singular aural experience, their music
is endlessly unpredictable but infinitely propelled by the spellbinding force of Farmiga\u2019s vocal work.
The Yagas have also been using their platform to shed light on Ukrainian culture and help those in need by
partnering with organizations that provide humanitarian and medical aid to the Ukrainian population with
their rendition of the popular Ukrainian love song \u201cChervona Ruta\u201d with Gogol Bordello, with Vera and Gogol
frontman Eugene H\u00fctz both being of Ukrainian heritage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
