The album sets their inner musings to cathartic punk riffs and ethereal electronics as they closely examine the anatomy of their long held emotional wounds. By liberating their repressed memories they honor the way that pain has shaped their past selves and built their instinct for self-protection. softscars is set for a physical release out October 6th and can be pre-ordered now here. To celebrate the albums release, yeule will be heading on tour across North America and Europe with the North American leg beginning next week. SASAMI will be supporting all US and Canada dates. The tour 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. Though its subject matter is heavy and arcane, there is a sense of joyful catharsis that emanates throughout the new album, 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.
