Yahho No Potori

Not much changes in the world of Eddie Marcon, really; the core of the group, the duo of Eddie Corman and Jules Marcon, set their stall clearly with their early EPs (compiled on Shining On Graveposts) and have stuck closely to that aesthetic ever since. So, it’s acid folk, SSW, with a sugar-spun fragility in the delivery and performance: the guitar, in particular, has a spindly quality that reminds of ivy trailing across old architecture, or tangles in skeins of yarn. What stands out most about Yahho No Potori is the confidence of the writing, and some of Eddie Marcon’s best songs are here: the lush quietude of “Toratolion” is a ‘career’ best, a song as gently moving as it is self-effacing and unassumingly played. And while there are plenty of delicate, unassuming singer-songwriters out there, few do the thing with the grace and warmth of Corman and Marcon.
