"epic soundscapes" and "excellent production" NPR
“'Evangelic Girl is a Gun' is the first time we receive a full glimpse of the daring singer-songwriter: the hyperpop from years past has morphed into trip-hop, alt-rock and affecting balladry, but across the most vulnerable lyricism of yeule’s career, they still toss out mesmerizing pop ideas” Billboard Magazine
“one of the defining artists of the decade" Pitchfork
"yeule is a post-human pop star on 'Evangelic Girl is a Gun'" Paste Magazine

(June 16, 2025) - Following the release of their new album Evangelic Girl is a Gun out now via Ninja Tune, which has already landed on The FADER and Stereogum’s ‘Best Albums of The Year’ lists, yeule is back to announce their Fall North American tour. The tour begins September 2nd in Atlanta with stops in Montreal, Toronto, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and more.
Evangelic Girl is a Gun is yeule’s most unrestrained and emotionally baring work yet, as they grapple with ideas of a self-destructive identity burning through the canvas of post-modernity. The album follows yeule’s late night TV debut on Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney where they performed their single “Skullcrusher.” The performance began with yeule bent over backwards on a dirt bike surrounded by backup dancers and an ethereal fog. Stereogum described the performance as, “serious pop star moves.”
Evangelic Girl is a Gun sees Ćmiel putting their own “cyborgian” spin on Bristol trip-hop and ‘90s gothic. The album features production from A. G. Cook, Chris Greatti, Mura Masa, Clams Casino, Fitnesss and Kin Leonn, Ćmiel’s trusted collaborator and co-executive producer of 2023’s softscars. yeule’s untreated vocals on the album also contribute to a sense of burning authenticity; rawness emerges as they abandon Auto-Tune. This jarring artistic styling is a turn from their glitchy previous works. As a counter to the emergence of AI, they wanted to imbue their vocals with a “raw, irreplaceable edge,” they explain.
The new album follows their celebrated record softscars, which incorporated distorted guitars and alternative production. The arrival of softscars was met with immense critical acclaim earning their second ‘Best New Music’ stamp from Pitchfork, as well as applause from outlets such as The New York Times, The FADER, Stereogum, Alternative Press, NPR among others. The album followed their critically acclaimed 2022 release, Glitch Princess, which also received a Pitchfork ‘Best New Music’ stamp and overwhelming critical praise.
A chameleonic auteur guided by a multidisciplinary ethos, yeule crafts 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.
