Reviews
...Yoko Pwno are doing
something very inspiring; if you have any interest in the lineage of folk music at all
you should listen to this album.
— Folking.com
'Superbly
creative and skilfully executed, Part Machine has certainly opened my ears to Yoko Pwno.
I even understand their name now.'
- Alex Monaghan - Living Tradition
The album was recorded remotely by
the band members over 2 years, with work taking place in locations from
Edinburgh to the Orkneys via the small Norwegian island of Fedje and of course
the Isle Of Skye.
‘Part Machine’ explores subjects from reliance on technology and psychiatric
meds to burned-out Hollywood stars, ground-breaking female swimmers, and bars in
Leith, Edinburgh and New Orleans.
Musically, the band take their Trad music leanings to a new level without losing
any of the irreverent genre mashing and dance music flavours that characterised
their debut album ‘Artefacts’.
Yoko Pwno’s twisted, irreverent take on
Scottish folk music brings joyful, louder-than-life energy to the party whenever
they play. Formed in Edinburgh in 2013, the band performed at raves in the
caverns beneath the city’s historic Old Town before graduating to a residency at
legendary venue Studio 24, opening for world famous trad acts like Shooglenifty
and The Treacherous Orchestra.
Since then Yoko Pwno have become regulars on Scotland’s festival circuit,
releasing debut album ‘Artefacts’ in 2019.
