YHWH Nailgun have signed to vaunted British label 4AD . The news comes on the heels of the experimental rock outfit’s set at C2C Festival NYC , where they played 11 minutes of new material from something called ‘ Magazine ’—ostensibly an as-yet unannounced album—and then promptly left the stage.

45 Pounds , YHWH Nailgun’s debut full-length, came out last year on AD 93 , which Pitchfork named our Label of the Year for 2025. They currently have performances lined up at Salt Lake City’s Kilby Block Party, Barcelona’s Sonár Festival, End of the Road in Wiltshire, England, and Form Arcosanti .
