Yoga
Skinwalker
"Yoga takes the lo-fi practice-space recordings of the grimmest of the black metal outfits and combines it with the
murky, muddy, noise-drenched blur of bands like Wold. But then takes it even further, rendering their sound so muted and
lo-fidelity that even when theyre blasting furiously, it still sounds like a busted music box or an old black metal 78.
And then theres the fact that Yoga spends a good amount of their time not blasting blackly, but instead crafting
synth-heavy Goblin-style film music, all throbbing bass and buzzing synths, creepy minor-key melodies and tons of
haunting ambience. Those songs too are wreathed in a foggy, night-on-the-moors sort of murk, which ties those songs
closely to the more blackened ones.
"The strange combination of grim and Goblin, the tripped-out fucked-up recording quality, the damaged arrangements, the
looped hypnotic quality, turn Yoga into something totally out there, most likely way too abstract and psychedelic and
deliriously lo-fi to appeal to folks looking for grim, buzzing blackness, but for the rest of you, if you can try to
imagine some impossible mix of Philip Jeck, Wold, Goblin, the Skaters and some of the super weird EEE Records unblack
bands, all produced by John Maus and Ariel Pink, then you will flip for this." -Aquarius
