Critical Praise for Re-Covers:

"With his subterranean deep throat growl, Albert Kuvesin's voice makes Howling Wolf sound like a mincing sissy. The version of Bob Marley's 'Exodus' is quite mesmerizing while the scary alien take of Iron Butterfly's 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida' should probably only be listened to from behind the sofa. But it's unlikely there will be a more fun album reviewed in Songlines this year. 5 stars."
- Songlines

"The band's fifth international release, 'Re-Covers,' which pays tribute to the days of illegal pop culture that struggled under communism, could be about to push Yat-Kha into the limelight at last. Such a sound could only come from a man possessed by something."
- Mojo

Critical Praise for "Aldyn Dashka"

"[Yat-Kha] played...with passion, obvious enjoyment and a sense of danger"
- Robin Denslow, The Guardian

"Few can doubt that Yat-Kha ...with their fearless and gleeful iconoclasm [are] not only keeping Tuvan music alive, they're also drawing a road-map for the future. Yat-Kha rock the roots of your hair follicles."
- Andy Morgan, fRoots Magazine

"The band's latest album, Aldyn Dashka...is its best yet, a brilliant demonstration of how to bolster, rather than obliterate, a traditional form with rock."
- Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader

"This is a complete band with a very individual, melodic worldview that seduces the listener quietly but completely."
- CMJ

"The voices are extraordinary...Aldyn Dashka improves on its predecessor, Dalai Beldiri, with songs as memorable as the throat singing within."
- Bob Tarte, Amazon.com editorial

"Listening to Yat-Kha's latest disc sent a shiver down my spine - and back up my throat...the quintet from the Russian republic of Tuva are the kings of Tuvan throat-singing."
- The Plain Dealer

"Our final tune starts off innocently enough... just a guitar. It could almost be from anywhere. What happens next surprised me and what happens after that amazed me."
- Bob Boilen, NPR's All Songs Considered.
