Yeo has built a body of work that stands increasingly intimidating in scale and quality. Desire Path only further solidifies his reputation as one of the most reliable, innovative and brilliant voices of the Australian DIY pop scene.
Collaborations with Asta, Kira Puru, Oliver White, Fractures and Take Your Time are an absolute dream, with each feeling like an honest meeting point between the guest and Yeo’s unapologetic pop sensibilities. He carries that skill through his solo moments: the build in Leavin’ is rich and captivating, Be Your Frand carries a groove that’s catchy and proudly self-aware of it, while Amy leaves you completely devoid of breath every time it skips a beat.
Desire Path champions the power of friendship, it triggers something that makes you glow from the very inside of yourself. Whether or not these tracks stand as an album is ultimately irrelevant when you realise how much fun it is. This is an album full of heart, backed up by years of skill. It’s a true joy to listen to.
