Fresh off of their 2020 offering “Adult Themes”, El Michels Affair is back with a new full-length release.
Titled “Yeti Season”, this newest album has everything we’ve come to expect from EMA’s patented cinematic style of instrumental soul music. Where “Adult Themes” inspired a soundtrack to an imaginary film, “Yeti Season” brings us to a different place in time – with new inspirations. Taken with Turkish-styled funk and an almost Mumbai-esque take on soul, El Michels Affair offers us a different kind of drama and imagination with “Yeti Season”.
If you’ve been following along, this shouldn’t be viewed as too far a departure for El Michels Affair. It’s a heavy album – as evidenced by the signature musicianship and dramatic vocal expressions. But it’s also a hopeful record, with phrasings, textures, and chord changes that hint at something better – or fuller -coming our way.
