Yello is a Swiss electronic band that was formed in 1979 in Zürich, Switzerland. Known for their unique sound and innovative approach to music, Yello quickly gained recognition in the electronic music scene. However, in 1983, Carlos Peron decided to part ways with the band.
Inspired by artists such as The Art Of Noise, Propaganda, and Kraftwerk, Yello has carved out their own distinct style that blends elements of pop, dance, and experimental music. Their captivating melodies and catchy beats have earned them a dedicated fan base worldwide.
With influences ranging from Ultravox to Jean-Michel Jarre, Yello continues to push boundaries and experiment with new sounds. Their contributions to the electronic music genre are undeniable and they remain an influential force in the industry today.

Legendary electronic pioneers Yello release their first new album since 2009. 'Toy' is the duo's thirteenth album. Like all great Yello records, 'Toy' is playful, super-sharp and ultra-modern; something akin to a set of vivid snapshots of a utopian futurist Europe rendered in glorious techno-colour. Taking in joyous liquid electronics (on first single 'Limbo', 'Tool Of Love'), continental torch songs ('Starlight Scene', 'Dark Side'), glimmering Balearic sunset music ('Blue Biscuit') and myriad points in between, 'Toy' is the unmistakable sound of Dieter Meier and Boris Blank gleefully working at the top of their game after nearly four decades making music together. Recorded at Yello Studio, Zurich, Toy features guests Fifi Rong (vocals on Kiss the Cloud, Dark Side) Malia (vocals on Cold Flame, Starlight Scene, Give You The World) Heidi Happy (vocals on Dialectical Kid), Jeremy Baer (all guitars).
