YĪN YĪN

Vibrant, shimmery and irresistibly groovy, YĪN YĪN’s cinematic sound has propelled this largely instrumental four-piece band into unexpected global heights.  

Hailing from Holland’s southernmost city of Maastricht, the band first caught the attention of listeners globally by meticulously crafting a unique sound that married psychedelia, funk, disco with Asian influences. They first burst onto the scene in 2019 with the Thai psychrock-influenced The Rabbit that Hunts Tigers, which they performed across several shows to great reception, including at the famed Lowlands festival. During the pandemic, the band wrote and recorded The Age of Aquarius, later released in 2022. Described as spiritual and cosmic, the record retained the band’s distinct Southeast Asian influence while diving even deeper into dancefloor propulsion and space travel atmospherics.  

YĪN YĪN marked yet another evolution with their 2024 album, Mount Matsu, the first record collectively created by all members of the band. Deeply informed by both the imaginative sound waves of the cosmos as well as the earthly musical culture of Japan, Mount Matsu is infectious, strangely harmonious and highly energetic. The album’s sound is somewhat of a synthesis of their first two records, utilising pentatonic scales and vintage synthesisers for their signature sound, built on a solid foundation of psychedelic disco, fat global funk, electronics and tribal experiments.  

Making their way to Singapore for the first time, YĪN YĪN invites you into their expansive sonic cosmos: join the fray and let your fantasy run wild, dance your heart out and ascend Mount Matsu with YĪN YĪN.
