Synopsis

Album Description
Yawning Man's Vista Point CD groups together their two (now deleted) releases, Rock Formations (Cobraside, 2005) and the Pot Head EP (Cobraside, 2005). Yawning Man have been around as an on- and off-again project for guitarist Gary Arce (Ten East, Sort Of Quartet, Fatso Jetson) and drummer Alfredo Hernandez (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age) for over 20 years, and stand as a defining influence on the so-called "desert-rock" scene. Yawning Man, however, are quite a different musical beast from those they inspired. Drawing heavily from the SST roster -- Black Flag, Minutemen, Meat Puppets -- their music is caught in the nexus of surf, psychedelia, Krautrock and the Spaghetti Western soundscapes of Ennio Morricone. Or, if you will, a missing link between the worlds of Dick Dale, Syd's 'Floyd, and Pell Mell. On these recordings, Yawning Man also features the bass duties of Mario Lalli and Billy Cordell. The sheer lyricism of the playing demonstrates their total lack of need for a vocalist. Closely aligned to both the stoner-rock scene which adores them (despite their total lack of 'Sabbath-like Championed by stoners and avant-rockers everywhere.
