Just Calm Down

Yawners is the band of guitarist and songwriter Elena Nieto, a project based in Madrid and currently shaped as a duo with the help of Martín Muñoz on drums. Right after forming Yawners, Nieto started self-releasing her songs and booking her tours with a DIY philosophy. Just Calm Down, the band’s debut LP is released by La Castanya. In the album, Nieto explores the pop side of the energetic 90s sound, a vibe that instantly brings you back to classic bands like Weezer, Pavement and The Breeders and connects to contemporary bands like Japandroids, Snail Mail or Waxahatchee. This is a record bursting with tightly produced, perfectly composed, hooky, smart, angsty, bright power pop. Each track hits around the three minute mark, ebbs and soars with choruses that catch, and is an absolutejoy to press play on.
