Yellow Swans: Deterioration (Modern Radio)

Yellow Swans: Deterioration (Modern Radio) - The latest soundscape from Portland duo Yellow Swans (Pete Swanson and Gabriel Mindel Soloman) is reportedly their last.  In their hands Deterioration is a beautiful thing.  Five epic tracks span some 57 minutes of layered electronics, feedback laden guitar noise, resonating drones and curious colors.  The synthesis is formidable wash of ambience – both mesmerizing and challenging.  One reviewer hit the nail on the head, calling it “some heavy shit.”  Recommended.
