Yeule's new album is influenced by Bristol trip-hop and ‘90s gothic; features A.G. Cook, Mura Masa and Clams Casino
yeule has revealed her fourth studio album Evangelic Girl is a Gun will released at the end of May and includes the likes of A. G. Cook, Chris Greatti, Mura Masa, Clams Casino, Fitnesss and Kin Leonn on production.
The 27-year-old Singaporean songwriter and producer – born Nat Ćmiel – trailers the new record with the Clams Casino-co-produced “Skullcrusher” alongside a Neil Krug directed video.
The song is indicative of a new direction for Ćmiel, with a move away from glitchy vocals into something more raw and untreated – a deliberate counter to the emergence of AI.
The record follows 2023's softscars, and sees Ćmiel "grapple with ideas of a self-destructive identity burning through the canvas of post-modernity," and is accompanied by still visual artworks made in collaboration with artist Vasso Vu. The album’s melodies present "a portrait of the tortured artist trapped within an image" and sees Ćmiel putting their own “cyborgian” spin on Bristol trip-hop and ‘90s gothic.
“I wanted to bring homage to my life as a painter with this album,” Ćmiel says, explaining the influence of Polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński. "For me, Beksiński portrays so beautifully, with utmost care, the entities that crawl through his dystopian, tranquil landscapes. The nature of painting as a medium is a reflection of my emotions, both violent and gentle. A fleeting moment of time in my life, transcribed with paint and trapped in time.”
Ćmiel will tour the album throughout July, with dates in Manchester (1/7) and London (2/7) and confirmed festival slots including Roskilde and Pohoda.
