SOUND OF YELL
“Invigorating, innovative and addictive”
Stevie Jones is one of the great music collaborators of Scotland, involved with a variety of projects incorporating theatre & film, playing as a member of Alasdair Roberts Trio and Arab Strap as well as a wealth of ensembles from Glasgow’s genre bending fringes, all to the benefit of his own project. Sound of Yell possess a musial dexterity and lightness of touch that seems distinctly of their home town.
Light the Currents is the third release by Sound of Yell, following theor 2014 LP Brocken Spectre and single Fortunate Fume on Chemikal Underground. Composed by Stevie Jones, and performed together with Georgie McGeown, visual artist Vikki Morton (Muscles of Joy, Suckle) and Trembling Bell’s Alex Neilson, Light the Currents is a bright and buoyant acoustic arrangement in two part; the forst written for a special performance at an exhibition of artwork by Katy Dove at Dundee Contemporary Arts in October 2016, the second written afterwoods as a response to the exhibition and the experience of playing there.
“Wonderfully eccentric acoustic music, composed and performed by Stevie Jones with a supporting cast of Glasgow’s alternative music luminaries. Absorbing, original and moving”
