Yes have shared a video for brand new single, Aurora, which is the title track of the band’s twenty-fourth studio album, and which is released through InsideOut Music on June 12.
The album, which features new artwork from the band’s long-standing cover artist Roger Dean (which you can see below), features eight tracks (with two bonus tracks), including the thirteen-minute-plus Counterpoint, with the album’s title track coming from one of the earliest musical ideas the band began working with in writing sessions.
“The title immediately resonated with Steve Howe and sparked visual inspiration for artist Roger Dean, setting a conceptual tone that would guide the project,” says singer Jon Davison.

“Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore and give everything to the music,” says long-standing guitaristSteve Howe. “It’s always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn’t really a Yes song. We’re not trying to echo the past; we’re carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new”.
Aurora will be available as a limited deluxe 180g light green 2LP+2CD+Blu-ray artbook and poster, as well as a limited deluxe 2CD+Blu-ray artbook, both featuring the stunning artwork of Roger Dean and Freya Dean, as well as a bonus disc of instrumentals, and a Blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound and 24bit stereo mixes (by Curtis Schwartz). The album is also available as a gatefold 180g 2LP + LP-booklet, Special Edition CD Digipak and as a digital album.
