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

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.

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.
