about

Dragon’s Eye Recordings is pleased to welcome Albert Yeh to the imprint for his sophomore album, MOTORS/PULSES. On MOTORS/PULSES, Yeh expresses the persistent dread towards the ongoing acceleration and break down of societal processes following the release from lockdown that is now present as a persistent undercurrent through our everyday lives.

MOTORS/PULSES was composed during times of supply shortages, logistical failures, and economic and political uncertainty. The album takes inspiration from tape music techniques, canonic processes, and spectralism, but defies categorization in terms of style or genre. MOTORS/PULSES’ unifying characteristics are its intricate harmonies, complex rhythms, and richly textured soundscapes.

Yeh draws further inspiration from electronic music, concept albums, and classical music, but never rests in any one of them. Instead, Yeh travels seamlessly through multiple genres—electronic, drone, metal, folk, classical—effortlessly changing with each track, or sometimes within a track, to produce an album that truly echoes the unpredictability of our times.

released April 26, 2024

This album was written from approximately January 2021 to November 2023 and arranged and recorded in San Francisco, CA. Inspired by the age of accelerationism, the rapid rise of machine led processes, the inevitable breakdown of organic functions.

Composition, mixing, synthesizers, guitar, and programming by Albert Yeh.
Classical guitar on track 6 by Sam Gutterman.
Mastered by Shawn Hatfield (Audible Oddities).
