Ripple Music presents the much-demanded re-release of the first album from the legendary Palm Desert band\u00a0YAWNING MAN<\/strong>, once known as the favorite band of Brant Bjork and among the biggest influences on Kyuss. Although formed in 1986 by Mario Lalli on bass, Gary Arce on guitar,\u00a0Alfredo Hernandez on drums,\u00a0the band only released their debut full-length in 2005 on Alone Records. ‘Rock Formations’ has been called\u00a0“a melancholic mix of acoustic space rock with elements of surf music as well as middle eastern guitar style,” and it represents the primordial statement from one of the most important bands ever to emerge from the California desert.\u00a0\u00a0YAWNING MAN<\/strong>\u00a0frontman Mario Lalli declares: \u201cThis album truly reflects a point in our evolution as musicians where we touched on a sound that resonated with us to this day,\u00a0while the band has been together since 1986 this album was essential to our growth and is very dear to us, we are very excited to be working with ripple music on this reissue.”<\/em>

Formed in the late 1980s, the lineup of Gary Arce, Mario Lalli, and Bill Stinson rounds out their yearlong active recording and touring schedule. Arce and Lalli\u2019s background together date back to the start of\u00a0YAWNING MAN<\/strong>\u00a0with Stinson\u2019s background steeped in the SST Records world through performing and recording with Greg Ginn and Chuck Dukowski of Black Flag for several years. Yawning Man is acknowledged and recognized throughout the underground heavy music community as a key piece in the developments of the desert\/stoner rock subgenres. While their contemporaries gravitated toward the heavy riffs of grunge, and post-punk, Yawning Man leaned in another direction with their unique and organic, cinematic compositions and psychedelic improvisations…the perfect soundtrack to encompass the spacious moonscape atmosphere of the well documented “generator parties” of their area in the late 1980s. It was at these gatherings where they developed this distinctive style and sound by enchanting spectators with their seemingly endless free-form instrumental sessions, which echoed through the beautiful deserts, mesas, and landscapes of the Coachella Valley.
