YVETTE – How The Garden Grows [Audio CD]

Yvette conjures atmospheres that are both disturbing and familiar at once, pushing synthesizers, effects pedals, vocal processors, acoustic-electric drums, and midi guitar controllers to their extremes. Singer/multi-instrumentalist Noah Kardos-Fein and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Dale Eisinger think of their music not so much in terms of sound as in terms of feeling. The New York duo uses music both as therapy and a weapon, as an outlet for the stress of the daily grind and a release of the pent up tension that metastasizes only after living in a busy, unrelenting metropolis. ‘How the Garden Grows’, the second album from Yvette, reconfigures the anxiety of the moment into deeply spiritual, wildly aggressive, and frequently beautiful noise music in the tradition of early post-punk and industrial artists like Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and This Heat.
