Yellow Swans was an experimental drone/noise duo formed in Portland, Oregon in 2001 by Pete Swanson and Gabriel Mindel Saloman. They are best known for their 2010 album Going Places, which the band has been on an indefinite hiatus since the release of.
From their 2001 founding to the duo’s final shows (and subsequent hiatus) in 2008, Gabriel Mindel Saloman and Pete Swanson aka Yellow Swans carved an influential path through America’s experimental music underground, at the axis of noise, psychedelia, industrial, drone, and hardcore. Their music is restless, ragged, and forever in flux, untethered and unresolved.
