Yves Tumor has released their most accomplished and feverishly anticipated album to date, Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds), on March 17th via Warp Records.
The album achieves new artistic heights for the project in an uncanny recalibration of pop music. Yves Tumor reveals a complex intimacy with each album: offering progressive glimpses in familiarising with Sean Lee Bowie, while simultaneously elevating the beautiful myths and fantasies that embolden our connections to their art and music.
'Praise A Lord...' offers the widest narrative shot yet, opening with a literal breath and a naked voice that's spoken from a dark nightmarish depth and ending in an almost spiritual church-like celebration. These are uniquely different songs struck cohesively as an album that begs to be reopened and re-experienced. The listener is empowered in a spectrum between moody darkness and bright excitement with songs that carry a wild variety of exalting emotion from highs to lows, making for a radical artistic statement redefining pop experience in that authentic engagement.Yves Tumor's sound is clear and unmistaking, yet unpredictable, with an identity that is universally charismatic through an androgynous presentation that is sexual, poetic, and honest: an overall presence that will never need to conform because it is continuously shifting and redefining what the pop world begins to emulate .
Yves Tumor will play London's O2 Forum Kentish Town this November with support from Ecco2k and NATION.
