He sings into his guitar, slaps it around quite a bit
and you wouldn't be entirely surprised if he happened
to throw it down and stomp on it with his bare feet.
Born in Israel, raised in South Africa and now
splitting his time between Montreal and London, Yoav
isn't quite like other singer-songwriters. He counts
Timbaland and the Neptunes as major influences and
spends as much time coaxing funky rhythms out of his
battered acoustic guitar as he does strumming it. He
won over Tori Amos' fans after supporting her on tour,
which makes sense. The songs on his debut album,
Charmed and Strange are quirky and inventive.
Listening to the dense, multilayered arrangements on
"Adore Adore" and "Club Thing," or even his ethereal
take on the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?," you'd be
hard-pressed to believe that the whole thing was
played on that poor six-string.
I seen this dude open for Tori Amos, it was cool to
watch him perform.
