Yello release ‘Time Lab’, their fifteenth studio album

Yello release ‘Time Lab’ on 30 October 2026.¹ It is the fifteenth studio album by Dieter Meier and Boris Blank.¹ It comes out on Polydor, on CD and LP.²

The first single is ‘Around the Sun’.¹ It is built on an early vocal recording by Meier.¹ The band dropped it at the last minute from their second album, ‘Claro Que Si’ (1981).¹

According to the label, Blank puts it this way: ‘Yello doesn’t really know the meaning of time.’¹ So the archive plays along.

On the Swiss album chart, the Zurich duo has already reached number one four times.³² ‘Stella’ did it in 1985, followed by ‘Touch Yello’, ‘Toy’ and ‘Point’.² ‘Point’ entered on 6 September 2020 and stayed for twelve weeks.²

What the number says: since 2009, three Yello albums have reached number one.² What it doesn’t say: whether ‘Time Lab’ will follow. The next chart is just another snapshot.
