Yellow Swans

Electro-noise duo the Yellowish Swans created in Portland, OR, in 2001, using the intention of combining punk’s confrontational stance using the aggressively digital audio of glitch. Like a great many other sound performers, Peter Swanson and Gabriel Mindel Saloman self-released many CD-Rs and cassettes of the music, in addition to issuing EPs and 7″s on brands like Collective Jyrk and Chronditic Audio. Despite frequent trips and gigs with performers including Tussle, 7 12 months Rabbit Routine, Xiu Xiu, and Japanther, the Yellowish Swans documented their debut recording in 2003. Bring the Neon Battle Home premiered by Narnack in summer time 2004; the duo relocated to Oakland, CA, right before the album’s launch. The group’s second recording, Psychic Secession, found its way to fall 2005 around the Australian label Numerical Thief and was remastered and reissued that 12 months by Load Information. They continuing to turn out CD-Rs and 7″s throughout 2006 and 2007, culminating making use of their third full-length, 2007’s WHATSOEVER Ends, which experienced a more refined, Krautrock-inspired approach. The next springtime, Swanson announced that the duo was disbanding. 2 yrs later, Yellowish Swans’ final recording, Going Places, premiered via Type.
