This first song "Jackie" is a new release as of June 2021.
"Noid" and its video are spot on for our times.
Sister mother, brother father
Have you, have you looked outside?
I'm scared for my life
They don't trust us
I'm not part of the killing spree
A symptom, born loser, statistic
And "Lifetime" is...well, amazing. Phillip Sherburne, music journalist for Pitchfork had this to say about the track:
"Yves Tumor’s music has often resembled musique concrète as it massages rhythmic loops, samples, and scraps of found sound into suggestive forms, foggy as nightmares, with a distinctively narrative undercurrent. But on a new string of singles including 'Noid,' 'Licking an Orchid,' and now 'Lifetime,' what was previously lo-fi snaps vividly into focus.
The percussion is crisper, the vocals pushed prominently to the fore. At its murkiest, Tumor’s work always had a vaguely gothic cast, heavy as cobwebs sagging in the humidity, but on 'Lifetime,' Tumor’s suddenly channeling the hi-def stadium goth of the Cure’s 'Disintegration,' layering close-harmonized vocals over bright streaks of synth, piano, and drums. Those rolling drum fills are a lot of what gives the song its force: The ethereal background voices of the chorus, bruised by nostalgia—'I miss the good old days back in Biscayne/And I miss my brothers'—sound like they want to disappear into pure atmosphere, but the drums keep things grounded and immediate, relentless as heavy blows. There’s real anger here, real desire, real desperation—a surfeit of emotion that spills over the edges of Tumor’s tightly controlled arrangements and carries the music to a place it’s never taken us before. It’s a thrilling development from an artist who seems to be rapidly evolving, on a song-to-song basis, before our very ears."
