yeule has revealed their new single “eko” via Ninja Tune. Written in London and recorded in Los Angeles, the single was produced by yeule alongside frequent collaborator Chris Greatti (Willow, Yves Tumor, The Dare). “eko” is about obsession and love and a voice echoing in yeule’s head. The song embraces a more pop approach with yeule’s clear bright vocals leading the track over their electronic production. This latest offering serves as a first glimpse into a forthcoming project to come
“eko” follows their celebrated album ‘softscars’, which incorporated distorted guitars and alternative production. The album found yeule closely examining the anatomy of their long-held emotional wounds, making for their most penetrating and daring work yet. 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.
Stay tuned for more from the dexterous artist coming soon.
