Yes have announced that their new album, Fly From Here, will be released by Frontiers Records in July. This marks the first album in ten years with 2-time Grammy Award winning producer, Trevor Horn. Horn and Yes bassist Chris Squire re-discovered the track Fly From Here which has never been recorded as a studio track.
"Chris and I were talking one evening about a song 'Fly From Here' that we never recorded," explains Trevor Horn. "I said I was prepared to spend two weeks with 'YES' recording that song. When I arrived in America to record it, I was taken prisoner by the band and only allowed my freedom again in return for producing the whole album. It was an offer I couldn't refuse!!!"
"The new album represents the best of Yes from the 70s and the 80's with a current twist," states Squire.
Geoff Downes has also reunited with Yes to record Fly From Here. Downes had originally joined Yes and recorded the album Drama in 1980. Yes currently features a lineup of guitarist Steve Howe, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White, and Geoff Downes on keyboards with lead singer Benoit David.
