Yvette, the moniker of New York-based artist Noah Kardos-Fein, has announced a new album. How the Garden Grows is set for release on September 17 via Western Vinyl. Hear the lead single ‘B61’ and find the tracklist below.
“I wanted to see what new limits I could push myself and my instruments to,” Kardos-Fein said in a statement about the album, which follows 2013’s Process. “I wanted to see how closely I might be able to capture to tape the physicality of a live experience with the clarity of a studio recording.”
Of ‘B61’, Kardos-Fein added: “At the same time that I was developing techniques to harness the tactile and expressive qualities of my guitar to control a processed synthesizer, I was voraciously consuming the news every day and wrestling with the incomprehensibili ty of greater existential threats outside any one person’s control — then channeling these themes into lyrics, vocal patterns, and vocal processing. I wanted to marry technical experimentation with vocal and lyrical experimentation, to push the limits and see if I could summon the mood of the moment.”
