Yves Tumor Vinyl Records
Shifting from haunting ambient collages, hallucinogenic soul, dazzling rock, and more in a fluid, surrealist manner, Yves Tumor is an unparalleled musical chameleon. The experimental roots they established on early releases for labels like Dog Food served them well on albums such as 2016's spiritual, sensual Serpent Music, which highlighted the R&B and psychedelic elements of their music in its dreamlike flow. Tumor's style grew more structured and immediate on 2018's Brit-pop- and '90s alt-rock-influenced Safe in the Hands of Love, yet it still avoided easy classification. As Tumor brought more clarity and concision to 2020's Heaven to a Tortured Mind and 2023's Praise a Lord Who Chews but Which Does Not Consume (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds), it only heightened the kaleidoscopic surprises within their music.
