New Larry Yes review in the Portland Mercury



It seems that every few years Larry Yes emerges from some secret backwoods locale sporting a hearty beard and a handful of new songs, all of which are amazing. His latest, Take Me 2 Your Spaceship & Sing Your Soul Song Through Me, is a loose collection of vibrant folk tunes that smother the traditional singer-songwriter narcissistic entitlement with a inspiring level of innocence and polite happiness. Yes views the world, and especially nature, with a wonderful sense of childlike wonder, and he’s not alone on Spaceship, his fifth full-length, as the record features cameos from Mirah, Six Foot Sloth’s Amanda Mason Wiles, and tons more. This is proof that while his music might feel like the isolated musings of a unique character, Yes is not alone here in Portland. Not even close. EAC

Happy Spring, peoples!

We're celebrating with a new album release by Larry Yes, Take Me 2 Your Spaceship & Sing Your Soul Song Through Me (Discobolus 016).



Here's what Naturalismo has to say:

There's an innocence, a fluidity to Larry Yes' quivering vocals. He seems to occupy the same off-kilter realm of Raccoon-era Michael Hurley (not in sound but in spirit) and employs subtle texturing and psychedelic flourishes to surprising effect. His lyrics are hopeful and childlike, yet weighted with the existential melancholy of a grown man lost in an overwhelming world.
You can order a physical hold-it-in-your-hand letterpress-packaged CD at our catalog page, or you can download it it directly here.

Not only that but we've dipped deep into our back catalog and posted albums for download by Art of Flying, Chris Schoen, and Lords of Howling. Name your price, listeners. You can pay what you like or what otherwise suits you with our open-variable-pliable-supple-mercurial pricing policy. Read all about it, and listen to sample downloads here.

This May we fire up the new studio, and we'll keep you posted on that and summer touring information as it all takes shape.

Mazel Tov!

It's been a quiet winter at Discobolus HQ, but the days are getting longer and when the shadows on the sundials are just right, and the sap begins to run, the newest music in our hearts, tongues, and fingers will begin to make it's journey thou-ward.

We fire up the new studio in April, rolling tape till we're done, and in July the gigging returns with shows throughout New Mexico, and moving on to points west in August. Look for Larry Yes this March at South By Southwest, and Chris Schoen in Chicago this summer.

Till then, keep your feet dry and your hearts warm.
