Yama Uba harnesses an ageless fire with their cover of The Passions’ “I’m In Love With a German Film Star.” Akiko Sampson and Winter Zora shackle the effervescent melody with grinding, industrial beats, and emphatic bass grooves. This rhythmic spirit creates a foundational force for spiraling guitars and infectious vocals, Sampson’s voice cutting through all the hypnotic chaos like razor wire. A resonant gloss pulls the guitar leads out from the shadows, casting Zora’s performance in flourescent brightness. Yama Uba is utterly captivating throughout “I’m In Love With a German Film Star,” leaving us breathless at the sharp end of the coalescent finale.
Yama Uba’s Silhouettes will be released on January 24 by Ratskin Records and Psychic Eye Records. Stream below and pre-order HERE.
