A modern minimalist masterpiece in an unconventional context, they took the standard jazz trio format and created an electronica-influenced polyrhythmic sound-world spanning 45 minutes.

It's hard to describe Yawn adequately in a short space, but this album is one of the most original things we've heard in a long time, and it's absolutely killer.

Top notch alt/art (hard) inst. rock! Think Yowie with an additional guitarist and played at twice the speed. Its furious stuff, sometimes bending into metal and sometimes prog-ish. Tracks 1-6 are like listening to a psychotic break, 7-9 are like a fevered dream and 10 is the hangover afterwards....awesome!
