(September 14, 2023) - Today, yeule shares “softscars,” the title track off their highly-anticipated forthcoming album due digitally Sept 22nd with the physical release out Oct 6th via Ninja Tune. "softscars" embodies the thesis of the album, documenting the marks or scars that past experiences have left on yeule, expressing vulnerability and embracing their humanity as who they truly are as a person. yeule notes that previously, “I was forcing myself to separate myself from my artist persona and trying to tone myself down, because I felt like people wouldn’t like me if I was really that,” With the forthcoming project they are now bridging their fractured identities.


yeule shares about the single, "In the garden of my mind, it's dark and prickly sweet and sticky. And just like that the scar in my heart slashed across the center, the most precious one was made."


yeule will be heading out on a tour across North America and Europe this Fall with SASAMI supporting all US and Canada dates. The tour routing includes stops at Webster Hall in New York and The Fonda in Los Angeles alongside festival appearances at Portola Festival and Levitation Festival. You can find tickets here.


By setting their inner musings to cathartic punk riffs and ethereal electronics, yeule crafted softscars. On the blistering project, they closely examine the anatomy of their long held emotional wounds, making for their most penetrating and daring work yet. By liberating their repressed memories through images of blood, flames, porcelain, and angel wings, they honor the way that pain has shaped their past selves and built their instinct for self-protection. 


Though its subject matter is heavy and arcane, there is a sense of joyful catharsis that emanates throughout the project, which was written and produced by yeule and collaborator Kin Leonn, with additional production from Mura Masa and Chris Greatti. Driving it along is yeule’s shape shifting vocals, sounding more assured than ever in all of its jagged edges and haunting whispers, relaying the imperfect process of healing.


The album follows their critically-acclaimed 2022 release, Glitch Princess, which received a Best New Music stamp from Pitchfork. A chameleonic auteur guided by a multidisciplinary ethos, they craft entire worlds and personas through their music, weaving together everything from the classical canon, hypermodern internet cultures, academic theory, the esoteric, and their own carnal desires.


Listen to "softscars" above and stay tuned for more from yeule coming soon.
