Yellow Bird Band

The Berlin-based group Yellow Bird - featuring the paired voices of Manon Kahle and Lucia Cadotsch - channels Anglo-American folk music into a sound that feels both very old and brand new. The manner of the music-making has a vintage charm, a resonant earthiness, an old soul; but the voices are fresh, the emotions they evoke timeless.

The distinctive instrumentation of the album also includes Uli Kempendorff on various clarinets, Ronny Graupe on guitar and bass, as well as Tim Lorenz, Michael Griener and Max Weissenfeldt on drums. Yellow Bird - with its mix of American and European backgrounds, as well as pre-modern and post-modern influences - harks back to an analog era as a respite to our digital age; there is a homespun, heartfelt quality to 'Edda Lou' that bewitches.
