Yves Tumor’s music veers ... even at its noisiest, it’s always soulful

September 9, 2018 9:59 AM

At the end of August, Yves Tumor released a new song and video, titled Licking An Orchid (ft. James K), following the earlier single Noid (audio with static images), two cuts of weird, dare I say experimental, R'n'B. That’s old news! But wait what’s this? Tiny Mix Tapes is telling me that they were just singles for a new album? A new album that’s out now?!?!? Yes, it's a full set of ten tracks, sounding somewhere between Blood Orange (whose touring with Yves Tumor) and Croatian Amor (who is featured on a track). Full set of 21 second audio-visual samples from Yves, and a full, official track playlist for Safe in the Hands of Love.

Another link: if you want something mostly a bight brighter, Yves remixed a track for Alice Glass, who has a nice catalog on Soundcloud.

Very good, thanks. I like this and perhaps it's time for me to have something new to listen to.
