Willow wanted her song “Run!” to evoke the feeling of a panic attack — like the one she nearly had when she was stressing out over a confrontation during a relationship. On her past two albums, Lately I Feel Everything (2021) and Coping Mechanism (2022), she wielded this type of angst through brash rock and pop punk. Now, on her upcoming album Empathogen, Willow is pairing funk influences with distorted instruments to create a sense of paranoia. On “Run!,” she pushes this sound to an extreme, as she asks herself a question: Will you stay and fight,...

Kicking off their To Spite or Not To Spite Tour, Yves Tumor returned to New York City on Oct. 4 with a sold-out show at Terminal 5. The venue was buzzing with anticipation before the show began, with all three floors chanting for Yves Tumor to emerge onto the stage saturated in blue light.
Suddenly, a loud scream and heavy breathing played while the stage flashed to pulsing crimson light, presenting Yves Tumor joined by Chris Greatti (lead guitar), Yves Rothman (keyboards/guitar), Topaz Faerie (bass/vocals), and Rhys Hastings (drums). Throughout the night,...

Experimental rock whiz Yves Tumor is back with a new song, “Echolalia,” which will appear on their next album, Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds), out March 17 via Warp Records.
“Echolalia” is anchored by a restless rock grove, out from which spin woozy keys and Tumor’s hushed, rapturous vocals. The song arrives with a music video directed by Jordan Hemingway, which finds Tumor in a sticky Gulliver’s Travels-like situation: a giant in a strange world, tied to the ground,...

Since she began releasing self-produced bedroom pop in the mid-2010s, Willow Smith has been guided by her own muse, smashing genres into one another while telling her story in painstaking detail. All the while, she’s been dragging pop into weirder, darker spaces. The wobbly 2015 bedroom-funk cut “Wait a Minute!” has had streaming-service staying power unmatched by most radio hits of its era, while the 2020 track “Meet Me at Our Spot,” credited to her project with partner Tyler Cole known as the Anxiety, is animated by a furtive yet...

The English supernova Yungblud—real name Dominic Richard Harrison, hailing from South Yorkshire—has been an anti-pop star since his 2018 breakthrough, amassing fans and ink with his insistent hooks, soul-exposing lyrics, and endlessly quotable interviews. His third album is self-titled, which implies a reset—although if anything, Yungblud’s version involves scaling up as much as possible.
Yungblud is a whirlwind listen, fusing together building blocks of various rock subgenres—mostly Britpop’s hip-shaking carnality and emo’s on-the-brink wails—then spit-shining them a bit before adding confessional lyrics. (He’s not baring everything,...

Regret, longing, and heartache define the latest song by Yves Tumor, the producer-singer who’s spent the better part of quarantine and lockdown recording new music. “These days have been tragic,” Tumor sings on “Jackie,” the standout track from their recently released The Asymptotical World. “I ain’t sleepin’/Refuse to eat a thing.”
Produced and co-written by Chris Greatti, the track’s stadium-sized drums channel 1990s boom-bap, while an electric guitar wails more elegiac than bombastic. Tumor overlays and distorts their voice, building in intensity even while maintaining a slightly detached delivery.
