Yvette

Indie industrial duo Yvette were formed in Brooklyn in 2009 by friends Noah Kardos-Fein and Rick Daniel. With Daniel on drums and a variety of electronics and Kardos-Fein playing guitar, singing, and also working a web of pedals and effects, the duo crafted a murky, brutal sound that mangled pop structures into unrecognizable sheets of texture not unlike the blueprint laid out by psych pop acts like <a href="spotify:artist:4kwxTgCKMipBKhSnEstNKj">Animal Collective</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2z78AlkdwE2Ghj9EB50M6z">Liars</a>. Following their earliest recordings, the band's sound took a turn more toward ugly and formless industrial-inspired experimentalism, following in the footsteps of underground icons like <a href="spotify:artist:1UYhxPY1oqFUg1HfF8nV3k">Throbbing Gristle</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2wXUKlYvdBHn2MNeRKgG6W">This Heat</a>. The group released two 7" singles and a handful of tracks before issuing debut album Process in 2013 After the release of the album, Daniel left the band and was replaced by drummer Dale Eisinger. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi
