Experimental rock outfit Yoo Doo Right (Montréal, CA) wed noisy, melodic guitar parts, effects-laden synthesizer soundscapes, deep bass grooves and patented percussive furies into sprawling, cathartic musical pieces. In doing so, Justin Cober (guitar, synthesizers, bass, vocals) and John Talbot (drums, percussion) create a unique sound where “towering monoliths of roaring riffs crash against swarms of restless rhythms” (Pop Matters). Since forming in 2016, they have released two full-lengths, three EPs, as well as a handful of singles, whilst also touring extensively in Canada, the United States and Europe.

Yoo Doo Right’s first two EPs—Nobody Panicked and Everybody Got On (2016) and EP2 (2017)—served to introduce the band’s signature bombastic approach to psychedelia, while their 7” split (2020) with legendary Japanese experimental titans, Acid Mothers Temple, proposed a more motorik feel. Don’t Think You Can Escape Your Purpose (2021) further established their positively undefinable sound with Paste Magazine describing this first full-length as “sometimes vigorous and verging on total collapse and sometimes delicate and measured, [...] a gift that never stops giving.” About A Murmur, Boundless to the East (2022), their Polaris long-listed sophomore long-player, Flood Magazine writes: “The post-everything krautrockers’ sophomore album is a towering release fit for nebulous contemplation and feelings of foreboding astral projection.” For the production of these inspired if challenging works, Yoo Doo Right turned to visionary artists such as Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Suuns, Ought, Fly Pan Am), Seth Manchester (Battles, Lightning Bolt, Lingua Ignota), Efrim Menuck (GY!BE, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, All Hands_Make Light), Guillaume Chiasson (Bon Enfant, Ponctuation, Jesuslesfilles), Sébastien Fournier (Avec le Soleil sortant de sa bouche, Panopticon Eyelids, No Negative), and Braids’ Austin Tufts and Taylor Smith, while also visiting pristine studios including Hotel2Tango and Breakglass.

In light of this, The Sacred Fuck EP (2024) was a departure from previous endeavors with the Montréal group experimenting with found-sound, field recordings and sonic collage, momentarily straying away from the high-decibel musical juggernauts we’ve growned accustomed to. That same year, the Montréal outfit visited Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets in Pawtucket, RI to record their third full-length album. From the Heights of Our Pastureland (2024)—their second album to make the Polaris Music Prize Long List—is yet another solemn and defiant entry in Yoo Doo Right’s rich music catalogue, an honest and patient sonic poem about the destructive process of unbridled expansion in the name of "progress", the inevitable collapse and what it means to rebuild. More recently, the experimental rockers teamed up with multi-instrumentalist virtuoso, Nolan Potter (Austin, TX), and psychedelic rock trio Population II (Montréal, QC) to record a one-of-a-kind long-player meshing elements from krautrock, free jazz, and noise. Yoo II avec Nolan Potter (2025) was an impromptu meeting of like minds, recorded during a two-hour session in one small room. The music occurred organically and of its own volition.Yoo Doo Right Website | EPK | Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple Music | Youtube | Facebook | Instagram

Though Yoo Doo Right are quite prolific in the studio, relentlessly yet patiently crafting their uncompromising and ever-evolving sonic manifesto, one could argue that it is during live concerts that they most aptly capture the very essence of their art. On stage, they can be loud, bold, assertive and dynamic, psychedelic and ethereal with Allie Gregory at Exclaim! praising their “rhythmic synchronicity” and “near-telepathic connectivity”. The Austin Chronicle describes the band’s live performance as “a gargantuan bash, its instrumentals loud and distorted enough to collapse upon themselves in a chain reaction of musical mass.” Hoping to share their music with as many communities as possible, the three-piece never shy away from touring opportunities, which led to multiple stints in Canada, the United States and Europe, and well over 200 dates to this day. Along the way, they have performed at notorious events such as SXSW, Levitation, Amplifest, Dunk! Fest, Sled Island, Treefort Music Fest, and M for Montreal, also sharing the stage with the likes of Acid Mothers Temple, DIIV, A Place to BuryStrangers, Wooden Shjips, Kikagaku Moyo, FACS, and Jessica Moss.
