The original version of 'Trash' was first released as part of the EP "Trilogy: Flesh Trash Heat" on April 5 2024. The EP was inspired by the underground film trilogy FLESH/TRASH/HEAT, produced by Andy Warhol in his famous Factory between 1968 and 1972. All three films were directed by Paul Morrissey and had Joe Dallesandro in the leading role. 'Trash' is also a homage to the city of New York.

'Lost In Space' is a song about dependency and being lost. It describes a possible illusion in which someone could find himself. The singing style changes drastically from calm to ecstatic between verse and chorus, which constantly alters the mood of the song.

'Sand' can be understood as a metaphor for climate change. The song describes a couple who sees obvious signs on their path through life. The sand and the desert symbolise life, which is beautifully depicted with the footprints in the sand on the original cover artwork. However, a supernatural being appeears to make them realise the urgency of climate change and that it is up to them to decide what their future will look like. The mood of 'Sand' is quite dramatic at the beginning, and then changes drastically to optimistic, almost euphoric, in the second half of the song.

'Fade To Black' is a song about the fading of love in a long-term relationship. Nonetheless, it's also a positive song. Because an ending is almost always a new beginning. At the end of the day, it is what it is: one of many lessons that life teaches you.

Keep It Simple' is a smooth empowerment song. The message is not to be afraid to go your own way and - you guessed it - to keep it simple. Failing (and/or falling) is part of the process and only makes you stronger.

¨Disco Wedding' is a happy, uplifting synthpop-song about same sex marriage and equal rights for everyone. In Switzerland, same sex marriage (with equal rights) wasn't possible until 2022.

Your Funny Uncle is electronic music with a twist. based on synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, vocals and vocoders. Is it electro? Is it art? Is it pop? Or something in between? It is electroArtPop!

The artist behind Your Funny Uncle is Vinnie Albani, who was born in Basel, Switzerland, and lives in Zurich since 2005. He always has been fascinated by synthesizers and is inspired by artists such as Vince Clarke, The Human League, Martyn Ware, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Anne Clark, OMD, Marsheaux, LCD Soundsystem or Pet Shop Boys. Actually, a Pet Shop Boys song inspired the projects name Your Funny Uncle.

After his musical art project Vision, Vinnie formed the synth pop duo This Play with Dominique Zahnd in 1997. The critically acclaimed CD 'Popcorn' and several live gigs followed. The artsy video for the song was directed by Dominique Zahnd and marks the (unofficial) end of This Play. After a creative pause, Vinnie started to write and produce songs again in 2012 and officially started releasing material under the name Your Funny Uncle in 2019.

With Your Funny Uncle, Vinnie Albani proves his passion for electronic (dance) music and his sense for solid synth- and electropop. Your Funny Uncle celebrates and stands for diversity, freedom, respect, positivity, queerness and a positive attitude to life in general.

Your Funny Uncle - sometimes it's pop, sometimes it's art and sometimes it's just freakin' electro sound that refuses to be categorized: simply electroArtPop!
