about

After years of writing political punk songs, the most vulnerable thing Yummi Wisler felt he could do was abandon words altogether. “I felt like there was nothing more to say with lyrics,” he says. “Instrumental music was the way to go. And I understand that I’m lousy at jazz — so I needed to invent my own genre to be good at it.” Along with drummer Amir Bresler and bassist Gilad Abro, Yummi created his Yummi Wisler Guitar Combo — and the trio’s Raw Tapes debut, The Albanian Connection, is 11 tracks of new-but-nostalgic Mediterranean boogie-woogie. Taking cues from Spaghetti western soundtracks, psychedelia, Gershwin ballads, surf rock and film noir, the music seems to grin right at you. The combo recorded fast and furious — each song on The Albanian Connection is a first full take to “give the sense that they might collapse at any minute,” says Yummi. They don’t, but the feeling of risk creeps through. “It’s like you’re in an unknown city and you don’t speak the language,” Yummi added. “You want to party, but something dark is going on.”

about

Yummi Wisler Guitar Combo Tel Aviv Yafo, Israel

For Tel Aviv-based Raw Tapes artist Yammi Wisler, playing guitar has always meant freedom. Wisler first picked up an instrument in a public bomb shelter during the Gulf War, there he was taught his first chord. Wisler grew up in a time when everything on the radio was ruled by synthesizers. He was hungry for something more organic and rawer.
In the early 2000’s, Wisler was part of Habiluim. ... more
