American singer/songwriter John Andrews and his imaginary band The Yawns are back with Cookbook, their third full-length album, out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Woodsist. It contains ten new calm, atmospheric songs with beautifully sung engaging lyrics, comparable to what we are used to from this label. Check out River of Doubt, for example: “If I’m swimming in that river of doubt, won’t you pull me out?” Or listen to the instrumental track Song for the Gonz, a score to 90’s street skateboarder Mark Gonzalez with a timeless, cartoon-like melody, which proves that lyrics aren’t always necessary to tell a story. Well done by that imaginary band.
