Feel Safe

With ‘Feel Safe’, YASS - consisting of the duo Markus and Frank, veterans of the German noise underground scene (KURT, TEN VOLT SHOCK, MAULGRUPPE) - deliver an electrifying manifesto for all those who like their chaos structured, their machines human and their music mercilessly energetic. A seething, futuristic tour de force that translates noise into sound and frenzy into danceability. Released on CD and vinyl LP on Crazysane Records. YASS operate at the interface of post-punk, noise rock, kraut and synthetic trance, as if Kraftwerk, Shellac and D. A. F. have merged in a dystopian basement studio. The tracks on ‘Feel Safe’ are characterised by robotic loops, cutting guitars and hypnotic, driving rhythms that whip forward rather than lull you to sleep. There is nothing retro or nostalgic about it - YASS are not focused on looking back, but on escalation. The fascinating thing about ‘Feel Safe’ is how it unites contradictions: mechanical coldness meets human rage, structure meets improvisation, noise meets groove. Each song seems like a pulsating artefact from another reality - edgy, but danceable; loud, but controlled. The production remains deliberately raw, rough and direct - no whitewashing, but a musical tightrope of tension and catharsis.
