Alien - Love - Call -- cover of turnstile and blood orange

Track-216 20240607-132223.m4a

A hospice nurse and a waffle house waitress start a band.... femme grunge punk with yallternative country sensibilities; something akin to John Prine going through menopause.  They've been playlisted by Moses Sumney, covered by Frank Watkinson, and had their songwriting lauded by Joan Jett. They've toured America, and yet still stay outside.  With working class ethos and economy; YAWNi never spares the sweat and tears, and never wastes time. 
     The two initially bonded over traumatic youths, and met on their healing journey. As children, both clung to MTV and VH1; and their love for both Pop and fringe artists collide in their sound. Mary's mother is a church organist, and being raised in the liminal space where sound meets spirit, she integrates this with gritty grace into YAWNi. LnZ completely lacks appreciation for most things sacred and tears down the third wall with a labile disregard and blatant disrespect for the hierarchies of art and culture. Both hold a strong boundary against pretense. The uniforms, mores, and norms simply do not apply. They find comedy in demonstrating the absurdity of life, love, and genre. No set standard will survive this band. YAWNi are a couple of real, true freeX.
