Boy In A Well
Yawpers
**The Yawpers**’ third album talks about a sensational tragedy set in World War I France, about a mother abandoning her unwanted newborn child. But there’s so much more roiling beneath the surface. Recorded in Chicago by **Alex Hall** (*JD McPherson, Pokey LaFarge*) with production assistance and instrumental contributions from **Tommy Stinson** (*The Replacements*), here **The Yawpers**’ stretch their sound and ambition like *Alan Lomax* using his field recorder to capture *Mance Lipscomb* ripping a laced joint with *The Cramps* and strapping on their instruments to let it fly. But while the band dials into the finest, frenetic trucker-speed induced scuzz blues, there is a patience and dark soul within and between songs, much like the blank space between paragraphs and chapters. Complex, manically conceived, historically situated, demented, unpredictable, taboo, and yet distinctively cohesive.
