Raised in Katonah, New York by a director and an actor/sculptor, Galvin was encouraged to explore the visual and performing arts in his youth, eventually focusing on both playing drums and dance. He was a contributing songwriter to Walk the Moon while in college, and went solo with Yellerkin in 2013.
Featuring bright, harmonic anthems and thudding drums, his first EP as Yoke Lore, Far Shore, was released in the spring of 2016 by B3SCI Records. Its songs were quickly licensed for series on MTV and Netflix. By then based in Brooklyn, where he also co-founded the dance troupe Boomerang, his song "Hold Me Down" garnered seven-figure streams before the end of the year.
In early 2017, he released the single "World Wings" shortly before making his SXSW festival debut and touring the U.S. in support of Overcoats. The song later appeared on his follow-up EP, Goodpain, which was released in June of that year.

Yoke Lore Lyrics

I won′t wait till you come my way until you come my way
'Cause I know I'm chasing down my grave,
Know I′m chasing down my grave
And I want you riding next to me
Want you riding next to me
Want to live want to live a good life
And every road my long legs walk down I get found
Dead earth be my soft bed give me safety give me a crown
I listen to the creatures ′till I hear that sound
How can I sleep in the wake of your night moves
Now that I'm up can I tell you that you make me ohhh
I won′t wait another day
I won't wait another day
I won′t wait till you come my way until you come my way
'Cause I know I′m chasing down my grave
Know I'm chasing down my grave
And I want you riding next to me
Want you riding next to me
And I want you riding next to me
Want you riding next to me
Sing my songs about the ways I keep on doing you wrong
Keep my heart close to the fire so I don't thaw
Count the spots along your arms so I remember this
Feel the weight of time and hold back the minutes
How can I sleep in the wake of your night moves
Now that I′m up can I tell you that you make me ohhh
I won′t wait another day, I won't wait another day
I won′t wait till you come my way until you come my way
'Cause I know I′m chasing down my grave
Know I'm chasing down my grave
And I want you riding next to me
Want you riding next to me
And I want you riding next to me
Want you riding next to me
And I want you riding next to me
Want you riding next to me
