"There Is Nobody," Yoav

Song: "There Is Nobody"
Album: Adore - Single
Artist: Yoav

This new artist is currently touring with Tori Amos. This song reminds me of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. Probably because the percussion drives and has air. But if the Stripes impress for the sound they achieve with just two players, Yoav does the same... and he's solo.

Check out this youtube video of Yoav doing a cover of "Where Is My Mind" by the Pixies (a different song altogether). He uses looping in innovative ways to create a sound scape and then plays and sings over it. The loop he creates here by singing into the sound hole of his guitar, continues until the end of the song and provides a creepy mystery to what he is doing.



It's new, innovative, minimalist. Yoav makes the most out of the sounds he creates, and has an attractive confidence that those sounds are enough. And, they are.
