YAWNING MAN: new album streaming in full!
Says The Obelisk about the new album: “Here, they offer gracefully expansive arrangements of guitar, bass and drums, setting their sights on open spaces and conveying not just the soul of the desert or some idea of what they’re expected to be, but of how they’ve grown and are still progressing as players. (…) As they ascend to their rightful place in the forefront of desert rock consciousness, their ongoing progression seems bound to inspire yet another generation of players.”

Kill The Motherboard Release Powerful “Saint Paul” Video Accompanied by Anti-Gun Violence Message
“Saint Paul” was born out of a painful memory whose story I was forced to relive every day. The video is based on a true story. The aftermath of that story was witnessed by me and my family as we walked to the park that day. Instead of seeing kids playing on the jungle gym or swimming in the pool, we were met with police sirens, first responders, screaming and crying family members of the innocent people who were murdered, and yellow tape surrounding the bodies of the victims. The scene of the murders was located right around the corner from where myself and my family lived so I would pass the murder scene every single day and I couldn’t get those images out of my head. I’ve been living in that neighborhood for almost 35 years so I saw what the effects of drugs and gun violence can do to a community. I thought instead of running from it I would address the issue head-on. I wanted to shed light on what is going on, not only in my community but in communities across the country.
Out now! The Y Axes release soaring new rock LP, “No Waves”

The album is simultaneously very personal and very congruent with the current moment, despite having begun to write the songs in late 2016. In the sense that we used to call ourselves ‘pop music from the future’, with No Waves it seems like we’ve finally caught up to the present.
