As yeule, 25-year-old Nat Ćmiel processes their voice to sing the cries of a wounded robotic. The impact was beguiling when mixed with indie rock and dream pop on final 12 months’s Glitch Princess. “Dazies,” the lead single from their upcoming album, softscars, is in flip a lot more durable and extra instant. A searing lead guitar cuts by means of an explosive grunge instrumental, which clears away to disclose our android protagonist. Ćmiel’s verses dive into the blood and guts of a damaged relationship, virtually actually. “These rotten daisies look identical to you,” they blurt out. The band slows down as yeule dictates the refrain, threatening to close down altogether. As an alternative, they settle into a delicate rock groove, which dissipates into an unadorned and hushed Ćmiel. Co-produced with fellow Singapore native Kin Leonn, it is a spell-binding mix of ’90s rock, cyberpunk and above all, very vivid imagery.
