yek koo is the solo project of visual and performing artist Helga Fassonaki (half of free psych duo Metal Rouge), sometimes appearing in a ragged stripped-down cloak of distorted guitar, wailing vocals, pocket trumpet and non-kosher samples. Originally from Los Angeles, she recently relocated to the East Coast where her latest LP, 'Desolation Peak' was recorded - a classic example of yek koo’s unruly rhythm logic and haunting vocals.
