what we say

Far out & freaky ambient jazz from New York trippers Yai for Not Not Fun, who machine warp their earthly sounds through time & space to an outer dimensional primordial soup where they swirl & curl into new musical forms for the sonic benefit of whatever evolves.

what the release notes say

Storied NY multi-instrumentalists John Thayer and David Lackner join forces as YAI to transmute world-building into new digital frontiers. “Flowers From Home,” their debut, embraces improvisation and manipulation within a laptop jazz palette of warped percussion, horns, electric bass, electronics, keys and tactile atmospherics. 

The duo cite fidelity as a central facet of their sound, utilizing rack mount FX and multi-phonic strategies to splinter and smear instruments into altered state harmonics, simultaneously intimate and estranged. Their chemistry slips between softness and shadow, wind-woven but cybernetic, attuned to the moods of futures as yet unrealized.
