Yellow6

 

Yellow6 has at times been described as post-rock, space-rock, electronica, shoegaze, ambient… The reality is that the music has some similarity with each of those genres but is not so easily definable, using aspects of drone, repetition, melody, harmony, noise and silence to create absorbing soundscapes to drift off into.

Jon Attwood is a guitarist who grew up with punk in the London suburbs. Playing in a number of punk bands in the early 80s and landing in the mid 90’s with no band, Jon started to experiment with guitar sounds, drones, programmed beats and loops, resulting in a debut Yellow6 single released in 1998 on Enraptured Records. This was followed by a number of single, EP and compilation releases on many labels, with a debut album “Overtone” released in 2000.

Over the following years, Yellow6 has amassed over 50 releases on nearly as many labels across the globe, and played live shows in the UK, Europe and North America with the likes of Tarentel, ISAN, Jessica Bailiff and Charles Atlas.

Jon established Make Mine Music with Scott Sinfield of Portal in 2002.
