    After half a dozen listens, i’m hooked on this album. It’s taken me on an immersive, melancholic journey and because my heart yearns for another, it’s a journey I can’t escape.

    The end result is an album that you sink into, which gradually envelops you: moving, painful and elating in equal measure.

    While there are instances of dynamism within individual tracks, as a whole, the album can get a little tiresome as the same palette of sounds are deployed to address the same feelings of despondency.

    The downbeat tone may put some people off, and with the average track lasting a good five or six minutes, it’s true that some degree of patience may be required to get the most out of Yawn. For those willing to invest that patience though, the rewards are vast: Yawn demonstrates just how well Ryder-Jones is evolving as a songwriter.
