about

MAN this thing.. it's a funny one. I'm not sure if Gabe or I are even sampled on it, but it was presented to me as a Yellow Swans release on JYRK but it's probably some of our collaborators from that era.. There were a lot of shenanigans around that time. Hell, there were even some Doppleganger Yellow Swans shows that happened without Gabe or I being there. CHAOS.

Funniest thing about this release is years later I got an email from an electronic music artist accusing me of stealing his album artwork and he was extra confused to hear that we had nothing to do with it. I think the dude was buddies with one of the artists who I think maybe made this? Not sure! I bought my copy from Ozone in Portland and I think there were maybe 10 copies made?

WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS A BAND? WHAT IS A LABEL? I DON'T KNOW.

about

Yellow Swans Portland, Oregon

From their 2001 founding to the duo’s final shows (and subsequent hiatus) in 2008, Gabriel Mindel Saloman and Pete Swanson aka Yellow Swans carved an influential path through America’s experimental music underground, at the axis of noise, psychedelia, industrial, drone, and hardcore. Their music is restless, ragged, and forever in flux, untethered and unresolved. ... more

Presque Là
by Keith Fullerton Whitman

supported by 4 fans who also own “Ed Smellow Yawns”

Harpsicchord like sounds coupled with off-kilter and fractured beats, combine to make me feel like I am attending a chamber concert in a different branch of time, in a parallel universe where baroque musicians are accompanied by little drum machines that stutter in their frenetic and complex staccatos. https://igloomag.com/reviews/keith-fullerton-whitman-presque-la Justin Patrick Moore
