Every weekday, we're offering downloadable songs from artists playing in the New York City area that night. Here's one from a band that's attracting fans with their rugged, lionhearted sound.
Wild Yaks
"River May Come"
Playing at: Union Hall (702 Union St., Park Slope)
Get: Tickets ($8 at door) | Directions

Whatever they are, the quartet is happy being bearded, sweaty and loud, as on this track. Underscored by gutsy guitar and deep saxophone, the four members scream their way through this simple, wrenching, melancholy tune.
