Going Places

Going Places is an album by the American experimental music band Yellow Swans, released on March 2, 2010, by Type Records. It is the final album by the band, released after the band's 2008 breakup. Following the decision to disband in late 2007, the duo decided that making the final album was a priority. Yellow Swans spent a total of 18 months working on the album, first recording 80–100 hours of material during the rehearsals for their final shows, and then progressively editing the recordings down to the album's final runtime. Going Places is a work of noise music, with elements of drone and ambient music. To achieve its harsh sound, the duo processed electric guitar sounds through a reel-to-reel tape recorder, applying various effects, such as delay, in the process. Going Places marked a stylistic progression in Yellow Swans' discography, with a more gentle and melodic sound than the band's previous works. The album received critical acclaim. Most reviewers praised Yellow Swans for their experimentation and creativity, with some critics naming Going Places the band's best album.
