Yon Loader (Vinyl LP, Clear)

"This record is thoughtful, guitar heavy and features a wide range of local collaborates including members of Recitals and Model Home." - Lara

Carb On Carb's James Stuteley and producer Harry Lilley of First Move, two of the most infamously helpful and passionate people in the independent music scene of Aotearoa, make up the core of Yon Loader. Together with help from members of Recitals, Welcomer, For Everest, Model Home, Fouler, Bad Friend, and more, they have concocted the perfect record of "weighty, intricate rock songs with melancholic, diaristic emo-punk energy". Yes, Yon Loader, yes! - Flying Out

Yon Loader is a New Zealand recording project developed over distance and led by James Stuteley (Carb on Carb). Made in numerous sessions in various locations, the project weaves together many elements and talents of Aotearoa indie rock. Stuteley composed the core of the songs before fleshing them out with help from a cast of rotating collaborators and key engineer and producer Harry Lilley. These collaborators (including members of Recitals, Welcomer, For Everest, Model Home, Fouler, First Move, and Bad Friend) build Stuteley’s straightforward, candid compositions into an album of weighty, intricate rock songs with melancholic, diaristic emo-punk energy. Interweaving guitar and cello draws on the epic without going into excess. Slipping between thoughtful guitar passages and poignant interludes to expansive uplifting blowouts of repeated vocals and waves of cymbals, Yon Loader's debut album draws you in and holds you tightly.
