2014: Oceans of mediocre music garbage cover the Earth’s landmasses. The close-knit Yesnut team, all futuristic nostalgics, is looking for new territory beyond the slime… „Drowning with a smile“ is the band’s brilliant debut album, 99% recorded live by sound god Kilian Bühler.
The double bass player Janusz Leudemann practices songwriting on his ukulele as a fun exercise. He creates Rumbaswingska-like numbers, which usually don’t lack a certain basic paranoia. The great musicians Eva Gold (vocals), Christopher Radley (guitar) and Michael Erichsen (saxophone) transform the bumpy source material into crisp jewels in monumental arrangement discussions. Democracy is a form of government that is often overrated.
All songs were composed and produced by Janusz Leudemann
