2026 already seems to be a solid year for septugenarians and octogenarians in music, the latest addition being the welcome return of Yello with Around The Sun.
A pleasing electronic skank, Dieter Meier's unmistakable vocals, guitar skitters and squelches and lovely melodic flourishes from Boris Blank, all the classic elements are there, sounding like it could have been made last week, last decade or last century. Timeless, in other words.
The video is an entrancing melange of footage from 1985 and 1978, all blank and whire, Dieter and Boris in more youthful times yet even then transcending the time that they were living in.
There's no indication that there's more to come, single- or album-wise, but I hope that there is. The world is more colourful with a splash of Yello in it.
