Research Records welcomes back Melbourne quartet Big Yawn for their fourth full-length offering, 'NGBE.'Big Yawn's ability to blend complex rhythm sections with infectious basslines, deep synth work, and tongue-in-cheek sampling remains ever-present, and perhaps is the most advanced we've heard yet.Sitting in a world of it's own, the album-named after the group's beloved and lost warehouse space, National Gallery of Brunswick East (where most of the material was recorded)-features a wide array of soundscapes spanning mutated drum 'n' bass, low-key grime, rap, and dub-wise antics, all laced with a heavy dose of FX.Equal parts deep and menacing, the nine tracks encapsulate Big Yawn's evolution in the studio and on stage, most notably through their collaboration '2Stroke' with Melbourne-based future rap prodigy Teether and brought to life visually with album artwork by Julian Hocking.Tracklisting:A1. 80's Slam (4:38)A2.
