Yoyaku‘s YYK No label has released the debut album of People People, a collaboration between André Baum and Gulp, born Gonzalo Perez Scartascini.
On Out of Our Hands, the Berlin-based pair—coming from New York and Argentina respectively—deliver a “cinematic world built from dynamic instrumentals, intimate lyrics, mysterious melodies, drone riffs, and subtle distorted effects,” we’re told.
“21st century synth sparkle meets guitar grit and vocoders, hip-hop influenced backbeats, and numerous sonic twists,” the label continues, “all working together to create a vivid and timeless tapestry.”
The album will appeal to both fans of adventurous electronic music in search of new sensory experiences and lyric-minded listeners keen for a narrative journey.
After a chance meeting in Berlin in 2016, Baum and Gulp spent the next years exploring their mutual range of tastes in the studio, creating a modern blend of electronica, alternative, techno, synth-pop, and downtempo. They released Shock & Awe on Lamache‘s Discobar label in 2020, which came with a Ricardo Villalobos remix.
