After the solid Verve EP from 2023, Berlin-based JakoJako (aka Sibel Koçer) is back with Tết 41, her first full-length on the illustrious Mute Records. and once again it’s a beautiful collection of spacious and reflective tracks. Using a Eurorack setup and Waldorf Iridium Core, Koçer recorded the album in Vietnam during the Tết Lunar New Year celebrations, and book ends the record with some field recordings taken from the celebrations. The rest of the tracks on Tết 41 are melodic and smooth, and by using a more minimal set up, Koçer was able to get the focus tight, yet moving. Each track has its own individual feel, but still, everything is united in a common musical vision. Tết 41 is another awesome release by this very talented artist.
