Boy In A Well - Yawpers - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The Yawpers’ third album talks about a sensational tragedy set in World War I France, about a mother abandoning her unwanted newborn child. But there’s so much more roiling beneath the surface. Recorded in Chicago by Alex Hall (JD McPherson, Pokey LaFarge) with production assistance and instrumental contributions from Tommy Stinson (The Replacements), here The Yawpers’ stretch their sound and ambition like Alan Lomax using his field recorder to capture Mance Lipscomb ripping a laced joint with The Cramps and strapping on their instruments to let it fly. But while the band dials into the finest, frenetic trucker-speed induced scuzz blues, there is a patience and dark soul within and between songs, much like the blank space between paragraphs and chapters. Complex, manically conceived, historically situated, demented, unpredictable, taboo, and yet distinctively cohesive.
