The Asbury Park, NJ band formed in 2015, and over the past decade they have released a handful of EPs and their 2022 debut LP To Each Their Own Coat. Along the way they’ve made their mark on the New Jersey scene, and shared the stage with incredible bands like Mannequin Pussy, Oso Oso, The Good Life, Hot Snakes and more. Their sophomore album I Just Can’t Wait To Die propels the band forward, with a record that’s equal parts joyful, reflective and humorously absurd. Across its 10 tracks, Yawn Mower weave together various vignettes and observations on life, both profound and relatably ordinary, holding them all in place with a bath of fuzzy guitar tones and the occasional dose of strings for an added epic or frenetic flair.

Yawn Mower began writing the majority of the songs found on I Just Can’t Wait To Die" after playing the Sea. Hear. Now festival in their native Asbury Park. “After the biggest show yet of our career as a band,” shares Chick, “we wanted to write songs that play well on a grander stage.” On the new record you can hear the palpable excitement of a band reaching for and successfully grabbing that ring. Outside of tracking drums with their friend Evan Bernard (who has engineered releases for Mannequin Pussy and Soul Glow among others), every other sound made on the record was a DIY affair; recorded, engineered, produced, mixed and mastered entirely by the band. “Our goal was to make our version of Pinkerton," says Chick, “A raw, rough around the edges, noisier follow up to our debut that was entirely self-produced.”

I Just Can’t Wait To Die is also Yawn Mower’s most collaborative album to date. Where past releases had generally been the product of the bands original founders, vocalist/guitarist Mike Chick and drummer Biff Swenson, the songs on the new album were written start to finish with the full band’s creative input. “While Dana Yurcisin (bass), Rudy Meier (guitar), and Nicole Scorsone (violin) have certainly helped fill out past releases,” says Chick, “this was the first time that they were all helping craft songs at their infancy with us- as well as interjecting their musical identities into each song.” The finished album certainly sounds like a whole that adds up to something greater than the sum of its parts. “This record does a good job of highlighting everyone's strengths and personalities.”
