M:Soundtrack presents the Berlin band Yelka to perform their latest album “FOR” (released on Karaoke Kalk in June) on our Schokoladen stage, this beautiful evening will be supported by MASHA QRELLA on the Decks.
Ten albums in three years. That’s still the cosmic mission of the Berlin post-kraut trio YELKA with Daniel Meteo, Christian Obermaier, and the namesake Yelka Wehmeier.
With the album “For,” there was a Label change. After releasing three albums in 2023 with Maurice Summen, head of Fun In The Church they passed the label responsibilities to Karaoke Kalk. Karaoke Kalk is a friendly label founded in Cologne known for establishing the Berlin post-wende scene (fall of the wall scene).
The trio’s fourth album was also created with Arne Berger at Popschutz Studio, and the team is definitely well-rehearsed. Instead of recording the planned tracks, the band decided to improvise the session, and all tracks, except for the krauty Doors cover “The Crystal Ship,” were created in 5 days in the studio, mostly on the first or second take, but with significantly more overdubs – keyboards, backing vocals, second and third guitars, percussion, and piano.
