Yeule has announced their new album Softscars. It’s out September 22 via Ninja Tune. Today they’ve shared the video for the lead single “Dazies,” plus its B-side, “Fish in the Pool.” The latter is a cover of a piece from the Japanese film Hana and Alice by Shunji Iwai. Listen below. Also below, find Yeule’s upcoming tour dates.
“I took the metaphor of the scar to represent each song, and each scar remains soft,” Yeule said in a statement. “Whether you’re healing from emotional trauma or a physical wound, time never heals a scar completely. There’s no more pain, but you can still see the mark afterward. I have a deep feeling that the things my ancestors went through got passed down; there’s some trauma that just sticks. There was always decay and distortion in my life, there’s always been something wrong or ugly. So the scar reminds me that I’m being protected, and I should protect myself.”
