SELECT LIVE PRESS QUOTES FOR THE TO SPITE OR NOT TO SPITE TOUR "Yves Tumor’s live performance was nothing short of a religious experience.” - PARKLIFE DC "Sean Lee Bowie, better known as Yves Tumor, is an artist who’s been marked by rapid growth, quickly expanding beyond their origins in the experimental music world into becoming a multigenre straddling maestro.” - PHOENIX NEW TIMES "As a queer Black person, seeing swaths of Black kids (both in and out of trademark goth attire), sharing the experience of Tumor's whirlwind performance was deeply uplifting. When I was in high school, watching a performer like Tumor while surrounded by people with similar identities would have felt impossible — last night, they opened up a whole new world. “ - EXCLAIM Yves Tumor has announced a panoply of new dates for their tour, To Spite or Not To Spite, including a US run in October (including their first headline shows in LA and NYC since the release of the album) and a UK and European leg in November. The dates are in continued support of their recently released and acclaimed masterpiece Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds), an album that showcases Yves Tumor's continually evolving artistic perspective, presented as a hypnotic combination of captivating melodies, unconventional compositions, and mesmerizing lyrical craftsmanship. In anticipation of the impending run Yves has shared a new music video for album standout “Operator,” which is a playful take on a lyric video, combining whimsical stop-motion graphics with starred appearances from Yves Tumor alongside song vocalists Mowalola and Fresh Jame of Nation (Year0001). The video is created by student Isabela Tellez, whom Yves had originally discovered from her using “Operator” in an inspired work of fan-driven art earlier this year. Yves and their intoxicating live band recently completed the first half of the tour, which kicked off with a pair of universally praised Coachella performances and concluded with widely heralded showings at Primavera Festival. In the intervening months the tour yielded a barrage of fervent responses from critics and fans alike, praising the band’s provocative, bombastic live performances that hearken back to an era when rock music still felt dangerous. The album continues to garner critical accolades, recently surfacing on a slew of mid-year Best Of lists ranging from Pitchfork, to Uproxx, to Stereogum, to Consequence (who named it Album of the Year so far), to Exclaim, and beyond.
