Windsor Ontario's Yellow Wood, centering around brothers Adam Rideout-Arkell (vocals, chords, lots of stuff) and Matthew Rideout (drums, percussion, lots of stuff), is a musically adventurous indie-rockish band, with all kinds of ambition.
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 members, 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. We gave up playing live shows and dedicated full-time to writing and recording. The summer was an exploration of weird sounds and new approaches to our songwriting. In the fall 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 anxious 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...
Our friend Iain Kennedy (of Stereo Goes Stellar) joins us on bass and synthesizer for a bold new live show based around a non-linear live looping system built with Max/MSP and Ableton Live, and we're hitting the road in support of our first full-length album, "Son of the Oppressor." Auto-looped syncopated drum roll please... - November 2009

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.
