YAWNING SONS

Yawning Sons biography
YAWNING SONS came about via a collaboration between two instrumental bands from different sides of the Atlantic. Last year, Gary Arce from US desert/psych veterans 'Yawning Man' was invited over to the UK to produce a new album by the instrumental post metal outfit Sons Of Alpha Centauri. Upon arrival, they started jamming it out in the studio and by day's end they realised they'd tapped into something special.

The idea of Arce simply producing was scrapped. With both acts heading the musical direction, over the course of a week they wrote and recorded an entire album's worth of material together and came to the conclusion that a whole new entity had been born entitled YAWNING SONS. With sound files subsequently flying back and forth across the ocean there's now been the additional vocal contributions from Mario Lalli (Yawning Man), Scott Reeder (Kyuss) and Wendy Rae Fowler (Earthlings?, Queens Of The Stone Age).

Californian desert meets the chilled Kent coast - their debut 'Ceremony To The Sunset', released on Lexicon Devil Records in 2009, is a combination of dark atmospheric psychedelic rock with soaring melodic harmonies.
