yeule reveals details about upcoming album “Evangelic Girl is a Gun”

yeule, the innovative pop project spearheaded by Nat Ćmiel, has recently unveiled details about their upcoming album Evangelic Girl is a Gun, marking their fourth studio release. Scheduled for launch on May 30 under the reputable label Ninja Tune, this project succeeds the critically acclaimed softscars album of 2022, which stood out as one of the standout releases of the year.

The album’s lead single, “Skullcrusher,” provides a glimpse into yeule’s musical evolution, showcasing a deliberate shift towards trip-hop and heavy metal influences. In contrast to the glossier pop elements explored in the lead single “Eko,” “Skullcrusher” delves into a raw and unapologetically noisy aesthetic that draws inspiration from the likes of Massive Attack and The Frail-era Nine Inch Nails. The accompanying music video, directed by Neil Krug, perfectly encapsulates this newfound sonic direction.

Nat Ćmiel drew artistic inspiration from their background as a painter while crafting Evangelic Girl is a Gun, drawing parallels to the work of Polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński. In a press statement, yeule expressed admiration for Beksiński’s ability to capture the essence of his dystopian landscapes with intricate care. Reflecting on the intimate connection between painting and emotional expression, Ćmiel described the album as a transient snapshot of their life, intricately preserved through the medium of paint.

In addition to the album release, yeule is set to embark on a brief tour across the U.K. and Europe this July. Fans can catch them live at various venues, including performances in Manchester, London, Roskilde, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and Slovakia. This tour presents a unique opportunity for fans to experience yeule’s music in an intimate and immersive setting, showcasing their innovative sound and dynamic stage presence.

With Evangelic Girl is a Gun on the horizon and a captivating tour lineup in the works, yeule continues to push the boundaries of contemporary pop music with their experimental approach and genre-defying sound. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements as yeule prepares to release their highly anticipated fourth studio album and captivate audiences with their mesmerizing live performances.
