(August 31, 2023) - yeule shares “inferno,” the latest single off their forthcoming album softscars out September 22nd via Ninja Tune. "inferno" finds yeule lamenting over a relationship, incorporating burning analogies to describe the intensity in their heart. Contrary to the track's title, the song is light and dewy. Like many of the songs on the forthcoming album, "inferno" was originally born from a journal entry, which yeule often refers to as a scar entry. Speaking on the track they note, "The song is a gash, scar no.9. In this scar I ask the blue flame in my heart, will you ever fade? When you are engulfed and eaten in blue, what was left of me were parts of you." "inferno" follows their previously released single "ghosts" as well as their double single “dazies” and “fish in the pool."


Earlier this month, yeule announced new tour dates across North America and Europe this Fall and Winter with SASAMI supporting all US dates. The tour routing includes stops at Webster Hall in New York and The Fonda in Los Angeles alongside festival appearances at End of The Road, 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 "inferno" above and stay tuned for more from yeule coming soon.
