Since 2004, Windsor Ontario's Yellow Wood has been the creative outlet for brothers Adam Rideout-Arkell (vocals, chords, lots of stuff) and Matthew Rideout (drums, percussion, lots of stuff), joined since 2005 by our dedicated friend, R. Mathew Fields (bass, good ideas).
Upon releasing our first totally-brothers-produced EP (EP1) in 2004, we recruited friends to form a live band. Once we found our show-legs on the tiny stage of the Phog Lounge, we began making jaunts around SW Ontario, released a second EP in May 2006 as a full band (EP2), and completed two eastern Canadian tours. We had fun and grew as people and musicians. However, as a four piece band with a string of talented yet ill-fit guitar players, Yellow Wood had seriously slowed down by 2008, playing shows sporadically and struggling to write songs with the vitality of earlier material. This led us to a crossroads.
In June 2008 we made the difficult decision to cut the band back down to it's core elements for the sake of creating music we believed in and were excited about. Since then we haven't played any shows, and have instead dedicated full-time to writing and recording our first full-length record. The summer was an exploration of weird sounds and new approaches to our songwriting. In the fall Ryan rejoined us as we completed and demoed around 20 new songs, which have been cut down over the winter to 13 crackling new tracks that we are very excited to share with you. They are, in our opinion, the best thing we've ever done. Bold, abrasive, pretty, subtle, bombastic, poignant, base, dancey, epic... we hope to get your juices flowing.
We're holding onto the completed "Son of the Oppressor" album and starting to play live again as we see what industry interest may (or may not) develop. In any case, we will release it in the fall when we plan to hit the road. -early summer 2009

I thought this would be a good time to reacquaint ourselves, and shed some light on our world.
After over two years of writing, recording, and mixing we’re ready to release our sophomore album “Everyone All At Once”.
We have the new songs over at our page, and the album can pre-ordered at http://auteurrecordings.com We’re extremely excited and proud of this work, and I hope you have some time to check out what we’ve been up to.
We are very proud to announce, that Monocular s "Water Shape EP" is available at your favorite Online-Store now.
Containing the single "Water Shape" from the forthcoming album "Somewhere On The Line" (April 03, 2009 VierSieben Records/Alive) and three non-album tracks ("Consequence", "To Admire The Life", "Ravenclaw"), it is definitely a must have for all fans of filigree and athmospheric electrosounds.
Where bands like Lamb or Frou Frou left a gap in the late 90s and early 21st century, Monocular redefined the sound and set new standards in developing their complex music by connecting charismatic vocals with entrancing soundscapes.
Hey! Just an update for you, You can now listen to my ENTIRE full length album on my Official Facebook page. Make sure to become a fan so you can be one of the first to watch my new music video for the song "Forever" complete in April : ) You seriously rock, thank you.
