Yawners - Duplo

If you’re in pursuit of huge, hooky alternative rock moments chased with the hummable accessibility of power pop then look no further than Madrid’s Yawners.

The brainchild of Elena Nieto, she ticks all the boxes for fizzing energy that has a force to bubble over and deconstruct itself, invoking a rarely-used Spanish word for its title, sophomore LP Duplo concerns itself with the choices made at life’s branching paths. Although Yawners remains a solo vehicle, each song bursts with the muscle of an entire backing band, carrying with it a universal message of self-trust and clarity in both English and Spanish.

Nieto wields bilingual hooks to highlight the universal nature of these songs, but a non-speaker of either language can find anthemic and vital moves forward simply by following Yawners’ endurance.
