YAST returns with their second single from upcoming album. The track “A World Like No Other” is out now, The album ”Premium” is released the 12th of September.
“We wanted to create a song that keeps a steady groove all the way through — no unnecessary detours, just straight-up, sweet country pop.”
In another universe, YAST could have been Tame Impala, DIIV or The Drums — bands they once shared stages with and were mentioned alongside in the major trendsetting American music blogs a decade ago but YAST was never really that kind of band. YAST is a small-town band, in the most beautiful sense of the word — where friendship, sharing a pizza and a cheap beer at the local hangout, and eating dinner together means more than burning out on the road. YAST knows this. They did it for 10 years, and it came at a cost — it cost 10 years.

But it’s thanks to that self reflection that, in 2025, we now get a new album from one of Sweden’s finest dream pop outfits. The dream is still intact. The melodies remain ethereal, the guitars shimmer just the same — only now everything feels deeper, more grounded in the shared will of five people to simply make music together, regardless of whether there’s an audience or not.
On September 12, YAST releases their third studio album, “Premium” — an album they describe as a self-help record full of heartfelt, self-help pop. Because honestly, it’s easy to feel like the worst version of yourself most of the time. It helps to hear someone say it’s okay, that things don’t always go as planned.
