The Yawpers hail from Boulder, Colorado. They are mostly a rock and roll band but since there is a mandolin on a couple of songs I guess they get filed in the Country section. They aren’t country. If anything, there is a roots vibe that fits. They play acoustic guitars and have no bassist and don’t need or want one. A harmonica player was added a year or so ago to the lineup to round out the 4 piece. The sound is big and raw-the band makes a big sound by the drummer using two floor toms and huge kick drum.
Welcome to the swamp! The last of the Trichnologists (it’s in the left hand) is back with an amazing album, filled with voodoo, revolutionary politics, religion, and chants.
Wax Tailor could arguably be one of the best and most under rated DJ’s around. This complex and genius concept album demands your attention as it winds you up and draws you into its bad ass breaks and grooves. Sit down in a dark room and listen to this one by yourself!
Don’t let the name of the band fool you – this is a sweet album! Full of surprises with sounds reminiscent of Joy Division and The Avett Brothers. Put this CD on and listen to great music – from end to end.
