(((O))) Review: Yawning Man – Revolt Against Tired Noises

yawning man catamaran

The Revolt Against Tired Noises by Yawning Man

A new album of blissfully desert-scorched jams from Gary Arce, Mario Lalli and Bill Stinson. If you’re familiar with the band’s early work ( Pot Head , Rock Formations , Vista Point …) that belatedly found its way out of the Palm Desert, you’ll know roughly what’s going on here, smoothly intertwining, laid back but far-reaching riff untanglings though with more layers and a cleaner sound than some of the demo-feel on the aforementioned. I put this album on when driving home after a concert of Indian ragas on veena, and it made perfect sense, a sort of Far West themes-and-variations harmonic extemporisation.

As an unreconstructed Kyuss troglodyte, the blissfully jangling, gliding-into-roaring-heaviness track ‘Catamaran’ stomped heavy on my teenage years, and for a long time Yawning Man was a mythical object for which the only earthly evidence was the note in the sleeve of And the Circus Leaves Town that marked ‘Catamaran’ as a cover version. So I’ll admit that I headed straight for that track when I got a hold of this promo, eager to hear the sort of cover of a cover, seemingly the first proper recording of this track by its originators (though a hissy demo has been around on YouTube for a while). While the Kyuss version by now to me sounds definitive, it’s great to hear a decent Yawning Man version, with that scudding bass and sunrise-peeping guitar interplay totally affirmed as definitively authored by this band.

There’s even an almost formalistic quality to some pieces, like opener ‘Black Kite’ going around the permutations and combinations- a satisfying inevitability matched with liberating virtuosity. Those guitars… eternally chiming like a prism in a sun-swelling sky. The drums can just occasionally feel a little heavy-handed, especially in relation to the freeflowing guitar lines, glistening with a shimmer of distortion. The percussion on ‘Skyline Pressure’ can be a little lumpy, though this could be an attempt to anchor the music in a slightly heavier idiom than might be implied by the bluesy jams otherwise, or, as on ‘Ghost Beach’ where bass and drums pair in a revolving du-dum du-dum du-dum pattern, an underscoring of the terrestrial so as to point to the guitar comets streaking across the sky. That bass is supremely confident and audacious as well as being solid with a hint of funk, especially on ‘Misfortune Cookies’ under a more delicate twinkling of guitar, and with only the two shortest tracks with vocals on, the rest of the record really leaves it to the guitar and bass to work together, but its work as the outcome of a decades-honed telepathy that comes over as an effortless joy to hear.

The Revolt Against Tired Noises

excellent by
June 20th, 2018 |


Release Date: 2018 |

The return of the desert rock gods…
One of the most influential bands for the ‘90s stoner rock sphere (and at the same time the most obscure of all) got seriously back in business in the last couple of years. In between tours, Yawning Man released the half hour jam, , showcasing some lovely music harkening back to or . Now, moves a few steps forward on their sonic path, merging the old with new directions. The laid back tunes are still at a crossroads between blissfully melodic and thrilling build-ups, but they are complemented by punchier segments. Even so, having Gary Arce and Mario Lalli at the helm, any changes come wrapped in that gorgeous, familiar sound of theirs.

Musically, Yawning Man are often thrown into the category they influenced, still the guys are not coming that close to it. There are few distorted moments, relying mostly on spaced out jams instead. Gary Arce’s guitar sounds closer to post rock and its psychedelic leanings make the title track and ‘Black Kite’ wonderful, relaxed listens. ‘The Revolt Against Tired Noises’ boasts a waltzing rhythm that reminds a bit of ‘Perpetual Oyster’, however, the wandering notes travel miles away from it. Meanwhile, ‘Ghost Beach’ feels like a soundtrack to an early morning walk by the sea. The chilly guitar leads float above the pounding drums, beautifully contrasting one another. As the bass kicks in, the song gets this welcomed, powerful boost. Unlike , which was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina, this LP saw the guys returning to Joshua Tree, California and you can hear this slight return to roots. Sometimes the ambiance changes the overall vibe more than we’d think.

The iconic trio offered us a few surprises as well, incorporating vocals on the wavy ‘Grant’s Heart’ & ‘Catamaran’, a song which officially saw the light of day in 1995 as a cover done by Kyuss on . The former’s smooth progressions are nicely backed by chunky bass lines, whereas the latter features some really lush dynamics. Although considerably airier than Kyuss’ version, ‘Catamaran’ received a crystalline production, yet managed to retain the dramatic choruses. The vocals sound interesting, as the layering, alongside the reverb and echo, brought a slightly alien-like tone, which works well with the music. On the other hand, the fragmented drum patterns mixed with straightforward ones on ‘Violent Lights’ or ‘Skyline Pressure’ make these cuts some of the most alluring on the record. The effects-soaked leads are driven by Lalli’s versatile playing style, especially during the meandering parts of ‘Skyline Pressure’. There’s an entire spectrum of emotions that Yawning Man’s music evokes and I’m happy they still manage to “move” the listener. These seasoned musicians have played in several bands, nevertheless, the magic is at its most beautiful when they get back together. From demos to , we received a handful of sincere albums where you can hear their musical prowess and tight chemistry. I hope these won't cease, so we can get more quality music in the near future.

Another excellent album. I hope this fares better than Historical Graffiti to the listeners, because it deserves it. The LP will be out on July 6.



'Ghost Beach' -



Yesssssssssssssssssssssss great revy insomniac, love this band, so happy we don't have to wait 5-6 years for another LP, can't wait to hear this




Didn't know this was coming. Niiiiiiiiice. And good write up as always Insomniac.




glad this got a write-up.. solid album with some truly breathtaking moments..




Oh my God, I'm so hype. Yawning Man take me to a warm, nostalgic place that no other act does.



One of the most aesthetically distinct groups in all of music, and one of my favourite bands ever. Ghost Beach is the group's freshest track since Dark Meet from the Fatso Jetson split. Deafheaven and now Yawning Man - July cannot get here any fucking sooner!




How did the two of You hear this? Promotional copies? Envious af




I thought QotSA were the desert rock gods




Close enough




Naw m8, it all started with Yawning Man back in mid 80s in the Palm Desert scene. The bands You've mentioned have said as much themselves. Obviously the argument can be made that Kyuss were the best act to come of these subcultures, but Yawning Man and those Palm Desert jams was the genesis. Check out if You're curious :3



I demand insomniac and butcher stop ignoring nemeton's comment and tell us how we can listen to this right here right now




it leaked on torrents weeks ago..



"I thought QotSA were the desert rock gods"



they're cock pop gods nowadays..





Yeah, I got the promo. I don't post reviews before the release that, however, I am on holiday and wanted to submit it before I left.

Maybe it helps this way to create some hype





These guys influenced Homme, Brant Bjork, John Garcia and just about anyone growing up around Joshua Tree, CA in the late 80s





Here's a stream of the album -



Nice, will check



Great band. Mario Lalli is the man. Even tho I prefer his other band, the almighty Fatso Jetson. I'll give this a spin...



Wtf




Finally getting into this. All the amazing I thought it would be.




Holy shit their (original) version of Catamaran is mesmerizing. So good.



Wowowowow, this recording of Catamaran is soooo gooood. I've alway preferred the Kyuss version, mostly because I never quite liked Mario's voice on the Birth of Sol version, but man oh man this one is beautiful. Really digging this album, just as good as Rock Formations and Nomadic Pursuits if not better

Cover art for Catamaran (Yawning Man cover) lyrics by Kyuss

Catamaran (Yawning Man cover)

Catamaran (yawning man cover) lyrics.

Album art

I think it's the narrator's lack of fear of being taken off in death. He doesn't see the need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the afterlife he's willing to go. From the other theme's of Kyuss I can deduce it's basically his acceptance og the cycle of life and death and that death isn't something to fear but to accept. He's lived life on earth, wherever he goes next he will go, there is no use worrying.

Basically it about a guy who's happy and willing, but some is being overly insistent. If they simply stopped and let go, he'd go with what they want.

Brilliant. I concur.

You can't really talk about kyuss' other themes for this one. It's a cover of a Yawning Man song. Though I agree with the interpretation.

The second time around it's cold air not cool air

My Fav Kyuss song. Gotta love the contrast between the relaxed verses and explosive chouses.

No idea what its about though.

I also heard that this was a Yawning Man song, I haven't had the pleasure of hearing their work unfortunately, but they were described by Kyuss as the greatest band they'd ever seen, as well as most inspirational... thats a pretty positive review from one of the greatest and most inspirational bands that I know.

I love the guitar in the verse and the contrast of the chorus.

Alkomon, what the hell.

I think, maybe, just maybe, hes saying he has his own spirituality in nature, the smooth stones, the cool air... thats how he feels God. He doesn't need the trappings of religion to "brace" him or impose God's "will" on him, he doesn't doubt the power of God or the universe, so leave him the hell alone.

Also or some reason the version i got was tagged "Catanarav". is that just typos? "catamaran"... i dont understand the connection with the title at all.

yeah it is a yawning man song & i suggest that you get some of there stuff, NOW & yeah catanarav is a horrible typo haha

Life is good as it is. Why change it?

And yeah, I agree, the contrast between the mellow and heavy parts is really nice, one of my fav songs, especially the mellow part.

Everything I've heard from Yawning Man has been instrumental, Kyuss may have just coverdd the instrumental and stuck words to it. But idk. Does anyone know if there's any Yawning Man songs with vocals?

This song most definitely had lyrics before Kyuss covered it. Though I wanna say the only instance of Yawning Man having recorded it was just as a rough demo.

@BigCheese Yeah this is a Yawning Man song through and through. Lyrics and all. Yawning Mans version is sweet, as is Kyuss version. Kyuss puts a better spin on it imo. The vocals are better. Seductive, trance, mellow.
