An unobvious mesh of Adrian Galvin’s folk sensibilities and Luca Buccellati electronic production, Yellerkin’s hybrid sound is incredibly succinct despite drawing inspiration from two polar opposite corners. Cut in the duo’s Bushwick bedrooms, their music is the result of a wholly collaborative process and each track is carefully constructed, often over a lengthy period of time. But even with the synthetic pallet and impressive attention to detail, tracks like ‘Solar Laws’ and ‘Tomboy’ boast a real rootsy, fireside feel, rounded out with Adrian’s cabin-in-the-woods vocals. Having put out a self-titled EP earlier this year, the group have quickly followed it up with the release of new single ‘Tools’ and will continue to filter out their music, one track at a time. See them at Bowery Ballroom on January 16. – photo by Jimmy Shirley
