Yawners: “Sálvame”

An uptempo indie rock sprinter. Our highlighted track “Sálvame” translates to “save me.” And who doesn’t need a little saving from time to time? You, me, Laura Palmer, Yawners, everyone. There’s an even-keeled, almost monotone aspect to Elena Nieto’s vocal delivery that adds a synth-like texture on top of the jangly, reverb-laden guitar pulls. A spritely pop rhythm whisks the melody along a pleasant current beneath sunny, if slightly melancholic, skies. Off SUPERBUCLE. Via Counter Intuitive Records.
