YAWN Announce Debut Album “Materialism”
Written by Johnson Stephen on February 8, 2022
Yawn is unconventional and futuristic and their upcoming album ‘Materialism’ is due for release on February 18th 2022.
The album was composed of small ideas that later evolved into long compositions. The element of improvisation provided a lot of different material to work with and allowed Yawn to compose pieces of music that contrast hard-hitting riffs with open improvised soundscapes.
The four selected pieces “Cement”, “Chaos”, “Lachrymator” and “Tokamak”, were divided into 3 – 5 shorter “episodes” to make the record fit into the modern digital streaming world, plus suit modern attention spans. Although it is meant to be consumed as a continuous music performance, each excerpt stands by itself.
The intention is to make the audience feel like this is something new and they instigate this with the single “Lachrymator II : Lignite” [music video link below].
