YAWN

Today I'd like to introduce this new band Yawn from Chicago...
They have a very experimental sound, that will surely get Animal Collective-esque comparisons...
But either way, they have a great sound and are definitely worth checking out.
No dates to the west coast yet.

Recently down in Austin for SXSW:
