It was just over two years ago that I traveled to Hawaii in what was hopefully my first visit of many. My only regret is that I did not know of Yawning Man's 2006 album Rock Formations prior to my trip.
The layering of surfer/stoner rock sound produced on this LP envelop the listener in a visualization of the endless joy of a life lived on the beach. Rock Formations is the soundtrack to riding teal colored waves just off a sun splashed beach.
There are no vocals on this album, just a basking of beach ambiance. Virtually unknown outside of the stoner rock scene, Yawning Man is well worth a listen if any of this imagery irks the adventurous side inside that yearns for a weekend beach excursion or a life forever transported to the coast.
