Returning after their debut album in 2021 and a sprinkling of singles in the meantime, Austin’s Yes Sir No Sir are back with This Is Going to Last Forever, recorded at Austin’s Chicken Ranch Studios and polished by Kevin Butler of Austin’s Test Tube Audio. Now, the album doesn’t come out until Friday, but they’ve been kind enough to let us give you a little preview.

This Is Going to Last Forever rides the roller coaster of life’s most important and emotional tenants, but there’s one that takes a step into a fictional space somewhat akin to Beastie Boys “Paul Revere”: its about the band robbing a bank.

Kevin Brinkkoeter’s baritone speak-singing really puts a trademark here, especially given the song’s storytelling nature. The intersection between 80s darkwave, a more modern attitude, and a recurring guitar effect that gives the heist its highway bandit appeal perks your ears and keeps you guessing for the song’s next direction. So hop in baby, we’re going to yell “stick em up and let two fly.”

“Spiritus Heist” is on This Is Going to Last Forever, out Friday.
