Yawning Man: Palm Desert, California.

Yawning Man, who hail from the arid desert area of Southern California, have been playing, jamming, and recording since 1986, and are a highly influential band. Most of their fans and those heavily influenced by them consider them to be ‘the originators’ of the entire Desert Rock movement/genre, and their influence has reigned far and wide across the globe.

An incredible steppingstone in the history of the band, and the scene they helped shape, Ripple Music have given a new lease of life to an incredible band and a fantastic album. Once described as a melancholic mix of acoustic space rock with elements of surf music as well as middle eastern guitar style Yawning Mans debut was, and still is, an absolute gem and a shining beacon of how music is a medium that can take us away to a higher plain.
