He is the new solo project of Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist Adrian Galvin. He’s intentionally creating music that matches his personally styled remixes. Specifically, his new single “Hold Me Down” incorporates echos of pop music and strong vocal hooks that reel the modern ear in. After supporting Elliot Moss, he has returned to tours by supporting Handsome Ghost and will be performing at SXSW this year in March. Yoke Lore’s successful May debut EP “Far Shore” is just the beginning of the bulk of his career. The record received 3 Hype Machine Top 10’s. Specifically, his single “Hold Me Down” is a personal favourite and has 2.5 million streams on Spotify! His latest addition “Snow Day” involves delicate vocals accompanied by his attractive music video. In response to his artistic upbringing, Adrian has an artistic outlook on life even in practical ways and its evident in his music. Yoke Lore’s sound is one that will stay around for a while.
