YUM YUM CLUB is a band, a loose collective perhaps, that much I know for sure. There's Julian Knoth, the go-getter from Zuffenhausen, interwoven into the local music scene(s) for years. Then Philipp, Julian's younger brother, who already sat behind the kit with Die Nerven and Karies, but whom I've never heard drumming in such a hectic, detached and musical way. Further with Paul Abbrecht alias Sloe Paul, an outrageously talented multi-instrumentalist and singer and finally Mari Schwingel, meanwhile as a filmmaker also responsible for visuals. Writing about "FULL HD" is a bit like dancing to a 10-course menu: The only common thread here is the complete lack of one, any genre boundaries blur between atonal bass runs, trumpets, autotune and mantra-esque text fragments: Everything can, everything must. YUM YUM CLUB are one, are the modern band, because they don't define themselves and exactly through that. "FULL HD" seems impulsive, liquor ideas without detour from the head into the hands into the ear, impromptu to the listener. The band produced the album themselves, mixed, how could it be otherwise, by the most active producer of this generation, Max Rieger. Is this New No Wave or can we even park the car close to contemporary rap? Or is it already jazz?! It doesn't matter at all. Anyway, for the first time I'm not ashamed to say that something grooves. The best way this band describes it, how could it be otherwise, is still themselves with track 4, a skit called "TIMBO SKIT": "Yooo, wow, geil, Hammer, cool, really fat, awesome! Awesome sounds, ey, really awesome! Nice man, pleased to meet you!" Me too.- Max Gruber
