Yakima Jera - Capture
The shock of seeing Nature only at night puts the mind in a straitjacket: the proponents of this prodigy are Yakima Jera, Germans by nationality but inhabitants of the sacred monsters of the craggy terrain of the Bavarian forest that gives them souls to lust after, to hurt, to kill. Coldwave-kissing rhythms with heavy drumming, Darkwave guitars with burr on the strings, and keyboards lend themselves to making Minimal Wave an obedient slave. Six black nuggets pulled from the woods lead our ears to be attacked by magnetic violence, from which there is no escape. Nice and unnerving to smile as legs bleed and the mind sees reflections of 80s Manchester knocking like a pleasant nightmare. The vocals are a shameless Goddess: she nods and throws us to the floor.
