“The criticism of Heaven & Earth was that there weren’t any big epics. We had a couple of longer tracks on The Quest. With this one we’ve gone overboard!” The story of Yes’ 23rd album Mirror To The Sky

Yes in 2023.

In 2023 Yes achieve their quickest turnaround between studio album projects for more than half a century, delivering Mirror To The Sky 19 months after The Quest. Just ahead of the release, Steve Howe, Geoff Downes and Billy Sherwood told Prog how important their 23rd studio project was, and what it meant for their future.

The warm reception to lead single Cut From The Stars and anticipatory buzz around Yes’ 23rd studio album Mirror To The Sky finds the band members in an upbeat and confident mood, convinced of its importance to their future. “It’s not the same line-up as The Quest because unfortunately we’ve lost Alan White,” says Steve Howe, “but it’s the mould of a band that wants to carry on. So that’s why I think it’s important.”
