Albums Of The Week: Yawning Balch | Volume 3

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:Bob Balch here. When Gary Arce mentioned that Yawning Man was gonna record and we should do another round of Yawning Balch jams, I was super stoked. I’ll always jam with those guys.

“Once the invite was extended I knew I had to drop some money on new pedals. Haha. Not that I don’t have enough already but jamming with Yawning Man means you have to build a massive pedal board and try to get the most ‘out there’ sounds you can. At least that’s what it means to me. Another aspect is once we start jamming I like to improvise riffs but keep them in mind so I can return to them throughout the jam.

“It was an honor to share a few hours playing with those dudes and I’m always surprised how much material we get out of it. Volumes 3 and 4 were recorded in one five-hour session on April 20, 2024 in Joshua Tree, CA. No overdubs were needed.”
