Yves Tumor fifth studio album - full title - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds) takes us beneath all the bedazzled glam stardom as Yves journeys through the limbo of life and love, escaping toxicity to get higher and holier.
From the raw, unapologetic drawl of God Is a Circle comes a mercurially shifting tracklist where Yves picks apart their psyche, discerning lovers and enemies both spiritually devoted to.
As Yves explores the pulchritude of purgatory, they move through electrifying rock strains. The technicolour acoustic guitars of Meteora Blues evolve into a high voltage headbanger as they plead, "Ill always pray to an empty sky", sauntering into a falsetto-powered, scathing examination of the popstar on Parody and the cold wave-meets-emo thrashes of In Spite of War.
Purified By the Fire is a plunderphonic gauntlet of alchemical transmutation, with shredded loops and cataclysmic beats leading up to the anthemic and heavenly last hurrah of Ebony Eye, where Yves Tumor finds glory and salvation, sitting on the throne as the righteous leader of rock music contemporary revolution.
The world needed a new rockstar, and Yves Tumor has the answer. From the chameleonic kaleidoscope Safe In The Hands Of Love, to the visceral fusions of Heaven To A Tortured Mind, and the theatrical power jams of The Asymptotical World, Yves Tumor has proved their prowess in any sound their punk spirit inhabits.
Hot Between Worlds distills all of this into a masterclass of pop songwriting and rock captivation, with songs that carry a stadium shaking energy having been teased and refined with their band live across the globe.
