Yin Yin (band)

Yin Yin, stylized as YĪN YĪN, is a Dutch band formed in Maastricht, influenced by psychedelia, funk, disco and Southeast Asian music.

History

Yin Yin was formed through a jam session between Yves Lennertz and Kees Berkers in 2017. Their initial recordings were in a ballet school, and they were subsequently joined by Remy Scheren and Robbert Verwijlen. Their first recording, Dion Ysiusk, was released in 2018. In 2019, Yin Yin released their debut full-length album, The Rabbit That Hunts Tigers, on Bongo Joe Records.

After growing in profile through a series of performances, including the Lowlands festival, the band's touring schedule was placed in hiatus following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the lockdowns, they wrote and recorded The Age of Aquarius, their second album, which was released in 2022. Lennertz left the band in 2023, and was replaced with Erik Bandt. Taking new influence from Japanese music, Yin Yin released their third album, Mount Matsu, in 2024. On 10 January, 2025, the band announced the departure of Verwijlen, who was replaced by Jerry Scherry.
