yosa peit - gut buster - fire

On Gut Buster Yosa Peit spawns fleshy sonic escapades a swarm of vigorously processed vocals and soulful bass set to a backdrop of visceral percussive structures. Full of roguish curiosity the record is cast with an air of lo-fi experimentation but with a platinum glint of pop sensibility. Peit’s second album grapples with the destructive force of modern consumption Gut Buster is an anti-capitalist statement that synthesizes intimacy and hostility; a surrealist-punk affirmation and a testament to Peit’s singular vision and unique approach."

"The free-ranging sound of Yosa Peit recalls the intense arrangements of a cyber-era Prince with the surrealist tones of Arthur Russell and the vulnerability of Arca circa 2017. At the album’s core “World Eaters” blazes after humankind and our destruction of the earth with its scorching guitars. “I was born on a planet I got hungry and I ate it.” Consuming all that excess terrestrial obliteration is human; we rot our own guts. That’s how it felt as Yosa battled with an auto immune gut disease while penning the record. So in the closing track “Gut Is God (Gate of Discord)” she raises a hopeful prayer (gut means “good” in German) to her insides to reasoning to learning with and from our bodies and those around us. Her one voice becomes a raw moving chorus crying out: we are all of this dying earth."

"I hear people mention the gut all the time it’s super present in our language what’s your gut say you got guts… We forget what a crazy fascinating organ the gut is bearing a universe. The way we consume food equals how carelessly we consume earth knowingly and repeatedly. We make changes only when something is right in front of your door.” Adds Yosa Even in the face of planetary doom and personal obstacles Yosa evokes our propensity for mischief humor and pleasure. “bb moon” processes sound solely from her bass into wicked oblivion. “CALL ME” a song about friendship chews up its anthemic melody into a gnarled strut worthy of an A$AP Rocky production while “HAD3S” urges us to find balance. Yosa’s work has been called “personal punk poignant deep” (Create Digital Music) yet her genre-defying production as textured as it is catchy escapes definition. Gut Buster carries all the nutrients we need. Yosa brings us provisions by way of an eclectic creative process interweaving sound through free experimentation and collaboration. Her unique approach to songwriting and production which past collaborator Holly Herndon calls “super fresh” has now garnered a cult following."

"The spirit of collaboration and community practice are essential to Yosa Peit’s music. She conceived her previous album Phyton as “an interspecies garden” a place for ceramicists video artists and designers to collaborate amidst changing social political and environmental circumstances. With her award-winning initiative Error Music Yosa invites girls trans and non-binary youth to become trailblazers of electronic music-making where they learn to code build synthesizers or theremins and perform free from judgment and expectations. Gut Buster takes that collective playground for creation to planetary reaches congregating friends from Berlin Cologne and New York’s fuzzy musical underbelly: Employee Funkycan Gerry Franke Glenn Astro Nauker Paingel Tbz and UCC Harlo. The record was mixed by Brainfeeder and Carlos Niño affiliate Benjamin Vukelic in Portland and Jan Brauer in Berlin. Yosa will be marking the release with special release shows across celebrated independent broadcasters - NTS Dublab Noods Kiosk and Radio Raheem. The first show is set to air on Bristol based station Noods on 30th January."
