4 out of 5 stars Are you ready for the country?.......2006-04-02

Yeah, so sometimes you think you're listening to a dreamier Neil Young but it doesn't matter as this bands pulls its weight just fine on both the slow and fast songs. I prefer the slower pace, but overall it's a good blend of plenty fine country-pop/rock tunes (whatever that means) played by an excellent band with pedal steel, mandolin and acoustic guitars. A nice surprise by the great Bomp! record label.

4 out of 5 stars Surprising down-tempo country from Cleveland.......2006-01-06

The only really dreadful thing about this Cleveland band is their name - a jokey moniker that doesn't nearly do justice to their dreamy, down-tempo country-rock and pop. Much of this second full-length CD paces along with the sort of introspective, downtrodden tempos of Neil Young, mopier songwriters like Nick Drake and the later-day crop of Britpop shoegazers. The album's mid-tempo electric tunes, particularly the 18+ minute "The People and the Sky," have the hypnotic feel of The Feelies and neo-psych bands like The Dream Syndicate.

The album's country tunes are anchored by Al Moss' pedal steel, with twangy telecaster and breezy harmonica lines adding flavor. The folky trance-pop cuts lean on acoustic strumming, chiming Byrd-like 12-strings, breathy harmony singing and reverbed guitars. The deftness with which these sounds are so serenely integrated is quite compelling, much like a tour through a musically literate friend's record collection. Fans of everything from classic Buffalo Springfield sides to later work by The Star Room Boys and alternarock bands like Television and Luna should check this out.

5 out of 5 stars Early Has Lots to Offer.......2004-02-08

With their first full-length Early, singer-songwriter Ben Gmetro and the Yawns remind us that while style and skill may not be what made indie an institution, they're certainly what make it memorable. The album is as eccentric as it is eclectic; opening with the cradle-rocking slow motion of "When We Were Young," the Yawns run a lazy zig-zag between country, folk, pop and Tama-driven art rock. Arrangements abound, electric and unplugged, from full band to Gmetro and his guitar. They even dug out an old Wurlitzer. Some of the album is danceable, some of it sedating; a few of the songs hint at the band's impressive technical talent and one of them is an absolute puzzler.

Gmetro's lyrics are careful admissions of what we can only assume is his fantasy-animated life. His delivery - unsteady, missed notes here and there - fits perfectly, a convincing performance as the quiet kid nobody knows, who shuffles up to an open mic and recites his passion from looseleaf. At first glance naive, Gmetro's actually quite clever, giving us just enough to be curious. We're left with vivid, recurring images and themes but no less mystified as to where he really took us, or where in his figurative world he'll go next.

Grab bags can be fun - and magnificently done. Standouts include the rollicking "Village Idiot," angelic "Highlighter" and the obsessive "Hazel Eyes."

4 out of 5 stars New Music from the North Coast.......2003-11-19

This group is loaded with talent. The music is easy to listen to with excellant guitar and percussion, a stand up bass and a nicely matched collection of songs. I think it's a great addition to any collection.

    Product Description

    The songs contained here on Rest are logical successors to the psych-folk-stylings of The Dreadful Yawns, but at the same time represent a significant aesthetic departure. Gone are the extended atmospherics and aural experimentations which pervaded the previous recording, replaced instead with lush orchestrations, beautiful lap-steel, finger-picked guitars, and richly layered vocal melodies. Rest finds the band pushing the country-influenced-rock style exemplified by artists like Gram Parsons to its conceivable limits and creating a beautiful, timeless, and essential document of the genre in the process.
