Get to the Boat

The Asbury Park duo of Yawn Mower -- Mike Chick (baritone guitar / vocals) and Biff Swenson (drums / vocals) -- have just made their EP, Get to the Boat, available for streaming ahead of its May 5th physical release date.

Recorded by Paul Ritchie at Insidious Sound and mastered by Pat Noon at Eight16 Studios, Get to the Boat, is five tracks of noisy, bouncing... ...I don't know... ...garage pop maybe. Yawn Mower are hard to classify, but they draw on influences like garage rock, indie rock, surf, and punk. The band released an EP in January that included covers from Girls and The Beach Boys / Yo La Tengo, and the songs on Get to the Boat display lots of the same DNA.

Subject matter includes weird dreams, commuting, a typical day in Asbury Park, the 24-hour news cycle, and nascent juvenile delinquency. Like everything Yawn Mower do, every song comes with a healthy dose of humor.

Stream Get to the Boat over at Yawn Mower's Bandcamp page. You can grab a physical copy when they help GayGuy / StraightGuy celebrate their own record release on May 5th at Asbury Park's House of Independents along with The Black Clouds, The Battery Electric, and Dentist.
