about

Berlin's most productive band – not less than 10 albums in three years is their mission - announces its second album release in the current season. We are talking about Berlin's finest trio in terms of Postkraut: YELKA around drummer Christian Obermaier, guitarist Daniel Meteo and bassist and singer Yelka Wehmeier. After their timeless debut album "Nowhere Jive" we now travel back to the year "1976", the title of their second LP, which will be released on June 30.
"1976" in this case means a strangely great time in (pop) music history, when Punk was still avant-garde, Kraut was already cannibalized by Art Rock, Disco was there but foreign, and Folk was experiencing a second spring! Exactly: dare more Joni Mitchell!

Add to that great song titles like "Hanover" (Hello SPD!) "Caravan" (Hello Amsterdam!) or "Saturn" (Hello Cosmic Disco!) - soaring between Prog and Beat. In songs like "Das Goldene Kalb" or the Interludes for in between we can even hear some Disco and the late Beefheart playing in our ears.
Worth noting is as well the Fleetwood Mac bowing number "Petrichor" with Yelka on YELKA as the enchanting voice, which we would like to hear more often on future albums, please.

"'1976' is our Alan Parsons project album," says guitarist Daniel Meteo of the finished work, that comes with an illustrated perfume bottle as the cover and a certain hipster compatibility for all times. Who doesn't like to smell good all the time?!
