The 24-year-old Singapore-born songwriter and producer – real name Nat Ćmiel – is themselves like an IRL video game character. Oftentimes they present in elaborate, alienoid make-up with white powdery eyes, while their music – an ethereal blend of alienoid vocals, experimental shoegaze sounds, and static soundscapes – feels like entering a cyberspace of error messages and broken computer code. On Glitch Princess, Yeule joins forces with PC Music head honcho Danny L Harle, who produced five tracks on the 13-track record. Vocal contributions by the likes of Mura Masa and Japanese rapper Tohji are welcome additions to the synthetic ambience. Spanning emo-pop to glitchcore to a mammoth four-hour ambient closer, the album is smooth and erratic, sweet and complex. An AutoTuned journey into the heart of the cyberscape. Elsewhere, CHAI release a dreamy EP, Mitski muses about fame on her sixth album, and Saba shares a complex and melancholic third album.
