Yeule – North American Headline Tour
Following the release of their new album Evangelic Girl is a Gun out now via Ninja Tune.
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 album followed their critically acclaimed 2022 release, Glitch Princess, which also received 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.
