YĪN YĪN

In the organizer's words:

Since their debut album "The Rabbit That Hunts Tigers" (Bongo Joe Records), the Dutch formation YĪN YĪN has reflected the sparkling essence of their musical taste, which is primarily rooted in the sixties and seventies: Asian psych-pop meets disco beats, Tropicália nestles up to snappy funk, ensnared by electronic elements. Live, the quartet surpasses comparable bands such as Khruangbin in terms of danceability.
The current and third album "Mount Matsu" (released in January via Glitterbeat), which is characterized by both the imaginative sound waves of the cosmos and the earthly musical culture of Japan, reflects a chaotic environment of influences that are slowly coming into focus. The infectious, strangely harmonious and highly energetic record is also the band's first to be created in a truly democratic process among four musician friends.

A new album has been announced for early 2026 and will once again appeal to all lovers of warm, tape-infused psychedelic disco, fat global funk, electronics and tribal experimentation.
