User Album Review
Yawn is consistently sagacious and low-key when you want it and heavy when you don’t. The strengths of the album lie within his warm voice, sage lyrics, expressive, haunting guitars and attention to detail. The cello on “Mither” elevates the track from something vulnerable and touching to grand and spacious while the strings on “Recover” increase the volume of his emotional outpouring. It’s one of the least chest-beating albums you’ll hear.
Since much of this record is emotionally taxing, five or six-minute track lengths sometimes prove difficult to wallow that long. However, Ryder-Jones’ ability to dig deep and his vision for a clear-headed, heart-wrenching record frequently connects. Though the LP would benefit from some instrumental and vocal variation as his faint vocals, acoustic and electric guitar and cello feel a bit tired after 40 minutes or so. The album title alludes to its sleep-inducing quality and nine times out of 10, that soothing nature works to his advantage. He’s a humble, thoughtful character and an even more engaging guitar player—drawing dense textures and perhaps even more sulking anguish from his guitar than his confessional lyrics. Ryder-Jones is trying to put himself back together throughout the lines of Yawn, but his affecting songs, nostalgia-swathed observations and unabashed vulnerability will inadvertently help you heal too.
