Gabriel Saloman Mindel, the guitarist and co-composer of beloved noise-drone duo Yellow Swans, is crowdfunding treatment for early Stage 4 lung cancer. Mindel, who has made solo music under the pseudonyms GMS and Sade Sade since Yellow Swans\u2019 split in 2009, received the diagnosis after a health crisis last fall, his partner Aja Bond writes on a GoFundMe page. Funds will help cover \u201cmedical co-pays and bills, ongoing treatment costs, and supportive care,\u201d as well as everyday needs, according to the listing.<\/p>\n

Mindel writes in the fundraiser description, \u201cLiving in Minneapolis, I\u2019m intensely aware of how much need there is\u2014in the world and right outside my front door. I wouldn\u2019t be asking for your help right now if I didn\u2019t know it would truly make a difference in my fight. However you\u2019re able to help, I\u2019m so grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yellow Swans released a string of albums in the 2000s held up as landmarks in experimental American music, including At All Ends<\/em> and their swan song, Going Places<\/em>. The duo reunited in 2023, and since then, they\u2019ve been putting out a consistent stream of new and archival releases via Bandcamp. Yellow Swans will also play a few shows across Europe throughout the month. Check those dates out below.<\/p>\n
