Yellow Red – My Little Words
Two colors, one symbol set and the dream of a bright new world that never came. Arrows, hands, stars, telephones, airplanes, basic shapes. Promises in abandoned empty spaces. Zapf Dingbats was designed in 1978 by Hermann Zapf. These symbols were meant to assist communication, to simplify the world into legible signs. On this cover, they become something else: artefacts of a future that was once imagined as clean, modular, frictionless. Instead of these, we inherited noise. Dingbats stand as fossils of this broken contract.
Yellow Red is the Synth-Pop side project of Stefanos Manousis, founding member of the Shoegaze – Dream Pop band Sugar for The Pill. Inspired by the love and passion for the 80’s Synth-Pop and New Wave scene, Yellow Red creates a sound that blends analog nostalgia with a fresh and modern digital tone, infused with catchy melodies and reflective lyrics that explore the ups and downs of modern life, delving into themes of love, human connection, and self-discovery. The debut album, titled “My Little Words”, is an autobiographical attempt that emphasizes to life’s unpredictable journey, and the emotions tied to it. It serves as a contemplative meditation on the inevitability of challenges and the resilience required to navigate through them. — Make me happy records
