Yarn
You might expect a band that calls itself Yarn to, naturally, tend to spin a yarn or two. thats what we do, we tell stories, live and in the studio, truth and fiction singer/songwriter Blake Christiana insists. We dont always opt for consistency. Theres a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our recordings. Theres a difference in every show as well, you never know what youre going to get.
Its with that in mind that Yarn have announced a series of singles that will be digitally released on the 13th of every month beginning in January and continuing throughout the year. Each single will include an A side, a B side and an exclusive alternate version of one of the songs. Naturally, theres no better name for the project than Lucky 13.
These are essentially road stories, Christiana says. Theres an overriding theme that links these songs in a very broad sort of way, but again, the stories are not to be taken literally. The intention was to share the feeling of what its like to spend time travelling from city to city, with all the unlikely experiences that can be encountered along the way.
People always ask us to tell them road stories, singer guitarist Rod Hohl adds. While this batch of songs arent exactly literal road stories, most deal with some degree of adventure and adversity as inspired by our tours and treks around the country. Yet like any good story, theres an imaginative element to it as well. Thats why weve decided to release alternate versions of some of the tracks, to provide a glance at the oddities that exist just beyond sight
The titles of these tracks summarize the stories at a glance. Hohl describes Sioux City, Road Less Traveled and Hurricane as adventure stories as seen from the perspective of the road. Too Young re-imagines that road as an analogy, the highway of life. Weary, as title implies, describes the toll taken by that seemingly endless journey. However, theres also hope on the horizon; Heaven in You suggests that there is an oasis out there somewhere. Promised Land and American Dream offer reason why one might choose to embark upon that sojourn in the first place.
