Mirror To The Sky

"Mirror To The Sky" is the upcoming 23rd studio album by English progressive rock band Yes. It is scheduled for release on May 19th, 2023, by InsideOut Music and Sony Music. It is their 1st studio album with Jay Schellen as the main drummer, replacing Alan White following his death in 2022.

In 2021, the band, with Steve Howe, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood, Geoff Downes, Alan White and Jay Schellen, released "The Quest". Soon after finishing that album, they started work on a new album, beginning with 2 ideas they wanted to turn into longer pieces, which would become the title track and "Luminosity".

Alan White became ill in early 2022 and died on May 26th, 2022. Schellen, who had already been handling most of the band's live work, took over as the band's full time drummer. In February 2023, he was announced as joining the band as a permanent member.

The band recorded the album over 2022. Paul K Joyce did orchestrations. In January 2023, Roger Dean unveiled sketches for the cover of the new album. A first single from the album, "Cut From The Stars", is available now.
