YT//ST  YT//ST is the first studio album by Canadian experimental band Yamantaka // Sonic Titan. It was initially released independently on October 1, 2011 through Psychic Handshake and later released through Canadian label Paper Bag Records on September 11, 2012, and on American label Suicide Squeeze Records on July 16, 2013. Tracks from "YT//ST" were originally written for the soundtrack to the group's rock opera titled "33", but were condensed during the album's recording process to accommodate their budget to record up to thirty minutes of music. Most of the album was recorded in Alaska B.'s basement, Glory Hole, the band's studio headquarters in Toronto, CA. Vocals for "A Star Over Pureland" were recorded in guitarist John Ancheta's painting studio. The album cover depicts the head of Blastro, "a giant plant with his brain blown out who flies through space and he’s completely braindead", "rising out of this meat goo sea of bones" into a black hole. The group released a music video for the "YT//ST" album track "Hoshi Neko" which was co-directed by Ruby Kato Attwood and Emily Pelstring. "YT//ST" was among the shortlist nominee albums for the 2012 Polaris Music Prize. "YT//ST" album personnel adapted from Allmusic.
