ith their latest album "FOR" on Karaoke Kalk, Berlin trio YELKA deliver another version of their post-Kraut blueprint: this time written almost entirely in the studio and, as always, committed to the moment and to art. The cover, elaborately painted by Henrike Wissing, shows a fantasy scenario with an alternative version of Mount Rushmore with stormy skies towards America - just like the music, which is happy to make the crossing with songs like Amerika, The Boar or the cover "Chrystal Ship" (by The Doors). Bela Hagel appears as a special guest, and you can also find (link below) a great dance video for the positive opener "Smile (into skies)" ... YELKA will play excerpts from this record as well as songs from the previous albums "Nowhere Jive", "1976" and "Krieg und Ferien" (all released in 2023 on Fun In The Church) at a series of concerts at alternative venues such as the Pudel in Hamburg, the Galeriehaus in Hof, Il Rosso in Altenhof and also in Berlin, at the Panke, where Yelka Wehmeier, Christian Obermaier and Daniel Meteo aka YELKA often make guest appearances. The concert evening at Panke, Wedding/Gerichtsstrasse - starts at 19:30 and will be accompanied by label maker and DJ Thorsten Lütz aka STROBOCOP The current album "FOR" is on the longlist of the German Record Critics' Award in the Electronic & Experimental category www.schallplattenkritik.de/bestenlisten/longlist/longlist-4-2024
