Yawning Man
Historical Graffiti
Orange vinyl.
Since 1987 this unique and influential band from the Southern
California desert has been leaving their mark on bands such as Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age, and countless other
alternative rock musicians making them one of the defining
forces in the desert rock scene for over 20 years both in
the U.S. and in Europe. Pinning Yawning Man to a specific
genre is difficult, letting the music speaks for itself has
fans from all over the rock, indy, psyche and alternative
spectrum are discovering the passion and dark beauty in
Yawning Man's music. Throughout the instrumental cinamatic
rock landscapes of Yawning Man, the post-Ventures, haunting
melodies & composition of guitarist Gary Arce are
constantly being stretched, up-ended and sent deep into dark
Joy Division territory, by the weird chords and heavy bass
grooves of Mario Lalli and drummer Bill Stinson. The result
is the kind of brooding and thunderous atmosphere that draws
you constantly inward. In this very special recording
session done during the bands 2015 South American tour while
in Buenos Aires, Agentina, the band was invited to record
for one evening at the world famous and legendary ION
Studios.The session featured guest appearances by
Argentininian tango musicians Sara Ryan on violin and Adolfo
Trepiana on bandoneon accordion as well as Malene Arce (wife
of Gary Arce) on the Mellotron. An Argentinian newspaper
once wrote that the "condensed history of the nation's
music" was to be found behind Ion's doors, and they were
spot-on with this description. Some of the country's
brightest musical legends, such as Astor Piazzolla, have
reacted like ions with other musicians, and the energy that
was released during this process condensed in the form of
numerous classic records.. As the largest and most legendary
sound studio in Buenos Aires, Ion remains one of the most
remarkable recording venues in the world. It's energy is
evident in the spontaneous edgy beauty created by the band
in this collaboration of special artists in a very special
place.
