Pursuit of momentary happiness

"'Pursuit of Momentary Happiness' is excessive at times. From most other bands a swooning old-time ballad like `Encore' and the slightly indulgent power-ballad 'Words Fail Me' would raise a big alarm. Somehow though, in Yak's case they just about get away with it. Excess, after all, is how this record was created in the first place".

"On their second album, this unruly British trio make the rare garage rock-informed record that aims for the upper reaches of Royal Albert Hall".

"Rallying with producer Marta Salogni, who previously worked on records by Goldfrapp and Björk. Salogni helps Yak ease into the psychedelic with Pursuit of Momentary Happiness. Where Alas Salvation teemed with physical pleasures, Pursuit of Momentary Happiness attempts to float on an astral plain, blending mind expansion with soul baring".
