American experimental noise/drone duo from Portland, Oregon, active 2001–2008.

Formed in Portland, Oregon; released records including Going Places, Being There and At All Ends; the group disbanded in 2008.

Two DeBaser reviews examine Yellow Swans' abrasive, drone-heavy noise with vivid, apocalyptic language. One frames At All Ends as a final, cataclysmic statement; the other praises the geometric, sustained tension of Going Places + Being There. Both highlight dense textures, repetition and power-electronics aesthetics.

For:Listeners of experimental, noise and drone music; readers interested in confrontational album criticism.

 

At All Ends final and definitive, not only in chronological order, sacred act, composed by the experimental-electronic-noise collective based in Portland, Oregon (U.S.A.), is configured as a work mockingly and blindly unintelligible, a bearer of a (un)healthy exhausting, abominable blend of convulsive and reiterated power-electronics mixed with assorted background noises that are not better identified: liturgical, climbing, astonishing mantras molded in the most improbable and absolute noise.

The methodical flow of drones in deflagration expands austere and sublimates into calibrated chaos.
