Yellow Swans


Yellow Swans play a constantly evolving mass of psychedelic noise that isboth physically arresting and psychically liberating. Their music is powerful rendering of free rock, black electronics, and white light vibrations.Consisting of Pete Swanson (vocals, drum machine, and electronics) and Gabriel Mindel Saloman (guitars, feedback, electronics), Yellow Swans create a dense ocean of sound using various analog and digital machines, all locked in a spiraling web of feedback.
Yellow Swans, having spent two years in Oakland, CA, are based once again in Portland, OR, where they originally formed in the Fall of 2001.
In the Winter of 2008 released their third studio album, "At All Ends", on LOAD Records.Elements of lush drone stretch the proceedings in vast strokes. Yellow Swans veer towards krautrock territory with this new record, and it will go down in the big books as their most beautiful and vibrant record thus far. Layer upon layer of rich and dense guitar chug build into multi-orgasm songscapes that leave the loins sore and the mind spent.

In April 2008, Pete Swanson announced that the band will break up in June, at the conclusion of their current tour.
