**Aaron Coyne**, known professionally as **Yawning Chasm**, is an Irish [alternative folk](/source/Alternative_folk) singer-songwriter from [County Galway](/source/County_Galway).[5][6][7][8]

## Music career

Coyne was one half of the Galway electro-folk duo Mirakil Whip in the early 2000s.[9] The group, with fellow Galway musician Anne Marie Deacy, released an EP on the [Rusted Rail](/source/Rusted_Rail) label and performed a tour of [South Korea](/source/South_Korea).[10] His debut album as Yawning Chasm, *A Shadow Is That Hidden*, was released in 2009 by [Rusted Rail](/source/Rusted_Rail). The Italian website [Ondarock](/source/Ondarock) reviewed the album positively, comparing the music to that of [Red House Painters](/source/Red_House_Painters).[11] The review website Indieville.com wrote: "*The Shadow That Is Hidden* may be frustratingly short, but it's also consistently great, and that helps make it one of the strongest psychedelic folk releases in recent memory."[12] In 2013, the track "Peripheral Eyes" featured on the compilation *Abandon Reason*, which was recorded at an abandoned car park in [Galway City](/source/Galway_City). *[The Quietus](/source/The_Quietus)* wrote that the track was "breezy and light-footed."[13] He released his self-titled album later that year, with *[The Irish Times](/source/The_Irish_Times)* writing: "His cosy, wintry, self-titled new album will keep you warm during the cold months."[14] In 2019, Coyne was part of a documentary for [RTÉ 2XM](/source/RT%C3%89_2XM) that focused on independent artists working in Ireland.[15]
