Enraptured
Raised on punk, English-born Jon Attwood has given up high-tempo, high-energy three-chord anger and given himself over to slow-motion oceans of instrumental bliss. As Yellow 6, his heavily reverbed, beautifully distorted guitars gracefully ascend, swoon and dip, freefall towards the earth, then catch themselves again, slowly tracing a complex and epic trajectory. The backgrounds are minimally constructed; often consisting of little more than some programmed beats and perhaps a bit of feedback. These all-instrumental compositions quietly evoke immense empty spaces, the grandeur of the sky, the stretch of the universe.
The debut album from Yellow 6 is called Overtone, on England's Enraptured. It includes the song featured here, "Tomorrow."
