stephanie croff sings with a passion you’d find in the northern canadian winds; except for the fact that they’ve blown all the way down to south dakota (where they filled her lungs) and she's carried them to the central coast of california. music moves her soul in a way that a butterfly's wings move the ocean, or in the way that a star can shed light in the darkest tunnel below the earth. trust me, it's possible. stephanie croff might tell you that if joni mitchell had lunch with nine inch nails under a tree (during a thunderstorm) their babies might end up sounding like the music from the yearning souls. thankfully, both bear erickson and nate keezer are completely fine with that, in fact, even affirming that the yearning souls might make you realize that it's kinda hard to transcend if you're worried about feedback. is it true that we are the quietest band you've ever heard? quite possibly. is it true that something in your heart will stir, if even for a moment, and you'll be inspired? that's what they tell me. i dare you to take a listen to these winds, that have traversed miles and continental divides to find their way to your ears, and tell me what you believe is true...
