Big riffs, big feelings, big tunes. Yawners high energy indie rock feels like a crush.

“This is a record bursting with tightly produced, perfectly composed, hooky, smart, angsty, bright power pop. Each track hits around the three minute mark, ebbs and soars with choruses that catch, and is an absolute joy to press play on”
The Line of Best Fit 8.5/10 review

“Yawners Remember When Grunge Was Good on “Please, Please, Please”. Madrid kids invoke memories of The Breeders, Sonic Youth, and all that was right with ’90s guitar rock”
Flood Magazine

Yawners is the band of guitarist and songwriter Elena Nieto, a project based in Madrid and currently shaped as a duo with the help of Martín Muñoz on drums. Right after forming Yawners, Nieto started self-releasing her songs and booking her tours with a DIY philosophy.

Just Calm Down, the band’s debut LP, will be released this 2019 by La Castanya. In the album, Nieto explores the pop side of the energetic 90s sound, a vibe that instantly brings you back to classic bands like Weezer, Pavement and The Breeders and connects to contemporary bands like Japandroids, Snail Mail or Waxahatchee.

There are few more romantic musical legends than those of the neglected bands who nd spiritual homes in far away times and places where they live on to in uence new unlikely generations of musicians. Sixto “Sugar Man” Rodriguez in South Africa, Dean Reed in the Soviet Bloc, Talk Talk post pop, and The Van Pelt amongst Uyghurs are some of the tales that get passed around the camp re. Enter Yawners and their resurrecting (whether wittingly or coincidentally) of the epic yet passed over DIY catalogs of early 90s record labels like Simple Machines, Dutch East India, K records, and Merge. The miracle is how they’re able to craft something so fresh yet it makes you feel like you’ve been transported 20 years into the past, just received a mix tape from your crush, popped it on in the car, rolled down the windows to smell the spring bloom, and let the wind design your new hairdo.

Big riffs, big feelings, big tunes, st pumps fueled by hope and love and the occasional pimple. Elena Nieto sings with a con dence that manages to speak to shyness and coyness and the terrifying joy that overwhelms when on the cusp of newness. This album has all the idyllic utters of an anticipated rst date and all of the hope and excitement that you just might pull it off and score a second one.
