Yin Yin
Yin Yin is a band from Maastricht, Netherlands, known for incorporating influences from 1960s and 1970s East Asian music. Their sound is a vibrant fusion of psychedelia, electronic music, tropicalia, funk, and disco.
Yin Yin began in 2017 as a duo of Yves Lennertz and Kees Berkers. They recorded and mixed demos in a practice room at a ballet school. Originally, the band planned to disband after releasing a few songs, but the positive reception encouraged them to continue. In 2019, they released their debut album, The Rabbit That Hunts Tigers, which was well received by both critics and fans.
Their second album, The Age of Aquarius, was written and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic and came out in 2022. The album's title references the astrological phenomenon of the same name. Compared to their debut, this album leans more toward electronic and danceable sounds. After the album's recording, multi-instrumentalist Lennertz left the band, and Erik Bandt joined as his replacement.
In 2024, Yin Yin released their third album, Mount Matsu. Recorded and mixed in Oud-Rekem, Belgium, this album showcases a shift from their earlier Thai musical influences toward more noticeable Japanese influences.
