   About Yahweh
Yahweh on the swings...

The List- 4/5 "This is the missing link between Boards of Canada and Arab Strap and arguably as good as both at points. A breathtaking, beguiling record imbued with an intimacy and wistful organic atmosphere of its own." (Mark Robertson)

The Scotsman- "...an alt-folk revelation, combining the wry lyricism of Arab Strap with subtle bursts of electronica and sampling." (Nick Mitchell)

Glasgow Podcart-"Yahweh interpret their perfect debut album on stage in ways that I never thought possible. Lewis Cook on guitar with a cellist, a violinist and drummer play in a way that makes you think they have been gigging for years. You have to see this act live... they are going to be huge."

The Skinny- "Yahweh’s epic, electro-drone-acoustica reveals a real talent."(Stephen Toman)

Sleepwalkingmag.com - "If this album is not one of the most talked about debuts of 2009 then I will be so very saddened. 'Tug of Love' is a truly remarkable introduction." (Halina Rifai)

Qmunicate - "Tug of Love is inventive, ambitious and potentially groundbreaking" (KMcQ)

Jim Gellatly's New Music - "an absolutely captivating album"

Yahweh is an experimental post-folk project from the country that brought you kilts, battered pizza and heart disease- that's Scotland for those that aren't familiar with this bonnie country. Joined by a collective of musicians whilst playing live, Yahweh is the vehicle for composer and musician, Lewis Cook. In both live performance and recording, Yahweh produces reassuringly melancholy, broken tunes that combine experimental electronics, Scottish traditional music, psych-folk and an enchanting naivety.
