about

originally released as a limited lp (edition of 100) from blackest rainbow.

2011 - Best Debut

I purchased “Kerning” quite impulsively during one of Eclipse Records big sales during the year (thanks Ed!!). Looking back, I’m actually rather surprised I bought this as I thought I was completely through with hearing another “American Primitive” guitar record. I mean, at that stage, I would have rather just put on a John Fahey or a Jack Rose album and called it a day. But “Kerning” is such a unique and moving work of, yes, American Primitive minimalism, though acoustic guitar album it is not. Yantis’s guitar playing can rival Barn Owl’s in terms of sheer drone intensity and, at other turns, be as delicate and melodic as Loren Connors. But through his use of sculpted noise and feedback, along with subtle piano and banjo accompaniment, Yantis crafted something entirely his own on this debut. The world will not end in 2012, but it likely will be The Year of Yantis. – David Perron, Foxy Digitalis

In Low Light (Music for the Winter Solstice)
by Mike Weis

supported by 4 fans who also own “Kerning”

Been a big fan of Zelienople for some time now, yet it never quite registered how much of that adoration was due to the incredible percussive talents of Mike Weis. Now, I'm even more hooked on his solo work. In Low Light comes off as his most subtle and fleshed out effort yet. Either way, genius is found in all that Weis touches! Lost Tribe Sound

Utterly superb and almost without flaw, Salt mesmerises with its sheer sonic beauty and artistic bravado. These guitar-based soundscapes easily capture attention with their dynamic, yet understated tone, technical proficiency and depth of feeling. A top ten release of 2015. Michael Reilly
