Titled \u003cstrong\u003eYeti Season\u003c\/strong\u003e, this newest album has everything we've come to expect from EMA’s patented cinematic style of instrumental soul music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've been following along, this shouldn't be viewed as too far a departure for El Michels Affair. The first single off of Yeti Season showed their hand back in 2018. A double-sided banger, that release brought the musical textures to the fore that dominate this record. The first song, titled \"Unathi,\" is fully realized with the beautifully haunting-yet-hopeful vocals of Piya Malik, formerly of 79.5. Singing in Hindi, Piya's ethereal voice is telling us to work and strive together toward progress. Even if you don't understand her language, you can still hear the urgency of purpose, creating a lasting vibe that sits on top of it all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis persistence has to come from the fact that Leon Michels and company finished this record during the lockdown. It was a tough and troublesome time. But look at what has come of it: Yeti Season—a record of high and heavy drama, but also one of hope and promise. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may take a year like 2020 behind us to find hope in a winter big footed creature like a Yeti, but that's where we are. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wxVI9Yj-a2Q\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El Michels Affair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47734736978107,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/products\/ElMichelsAffair-YetiSeason-COVER.jpg?v=1676905537","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.com\/products\/el-michels-affair-yeti-season","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
