YvesTumor shifts, alters, and plays with the boundaries of contemporary art andculture in a boundlessly visceral and authentic sonic signature. With an arcthat effortlessly graces rock, psychedelia, and electronica in a constantre-invention of pop music, comparisons only serve as limitations intended todefine that which cannot be. Yves Tumor melds restraint and chaos in a soulfulclarity; diluting reality by giving meaning to the abstract and allowing fordissonance to be seen and heard as harmony.

“Yves Tumor redefines Rock Stardom” - THENEW YORK TIMES

YvesTumor has announced their most accomplished and anticipated album to date, Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does NotConsume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds), set for release on March 17th viaWarp Records with an accompanying world tour to commence at Coachella Festival.The album achieves new artistic heights for the project in an uncannyrecalibration of pop music. This is Yves Tumor’s most intimate and personalstatement to date, guiding the listener through a conceptually manifoldspiritual journey –– circuitously weaving darkness to light, pop andinnovation, cacophony to church-like calm. Picking up where the albums’ initial“God Is a Circle” single release left off, The album’s intoxicating melange ofaddictive melodies and adventurously executed arrangements is aptlydemonstrated by “Echolalia,” the latest single + video. Both music videos aredirected by visionary Jordan Hemingway (who helmed a previous Yves Tumor video‘Secrecy Is Incredibly Important To The Both of Them’), that explores anemotive and transgressive world, brilliantly peppered with references of 70’sarthouse cinema.

Praise A Lord….  is produced by Noah Goldstein (Frank Ocean,Rosalía, Drake, Rihanna, Bon Iver), and mixed by Alan Moulder (My BloodyValentine, Nine Inch Nails), lending the album with a sonic signature that actsas a distillation and amplification of Yves’ previous work. The album’sboundlessly visceral aesthetic is bolstered by invaluable contributions fromlong-time collaborators Chris Greatti (Yungblud, WILLOW), Yves Rothman(Girlpool, Amaarae) and Rhys Hastings, melding restraint and chaos in a soulfulclarity. Throughout, Yves manifests their vision of diluting reality by givingmeaning to the abstract and allowing for dissonance to be seen and heard asharmony.

Therelease marks the formal follow up to 2021’s acclaimed The Asymptotical WorldEP in where accolades for this EP included ‘Jackie’ as the #1 song of 2021 viaCrack Magazine and in Pitchfork's Top 25 songs of the year. Crushed Velvet wasfeatured in Best of Spotify’s Indie for 2021 and in best songs of the year inVogue Magazine.

More recently Yves Tumor surfaced as the only featured artist on thenew WILLOW album <COPINGMECHANISM>. Yves Tumor embodies and controls theunique and influential power to redefine pop music as we know it, with muchmore to come.
