Evangelic Girl is a Gun is yeule�s most unrestrained and emotionally baring work yet, as they grapple with ideas of a self-destructive identity burning through the canvas of post-modernity. Accompanied by still visual artworks made in collaboration with artist Vasso Vu and a video for the latest single shot by the aforementioned Neil Krug, Ćmiel explores the duality of darkness, as well as their personal history to their role as the "painter.� Through the album�s hypnotic melodies, they present a portrait of the tortured artist trapped within an image, as Ćmiel�s haunting vocals act as an emotional chokehold atop dance beats. Evangelic Girl is a Gun sees Ćmiel putting their own �cyborgian� spin on Bristol trip-hop and �90s gothic. The album features production from A.G. Cook, Chris Greatti, Mura Masa, Clams Casino, Fitnesss and Kin Leonn, Ćmiel�s trusted collaborator and co-executive producer of 2023�s softscars. yeule�s untreated vocals on the album also contribute to a sense of burning authenticity; rawness emerges as they abandon Auto-Tune. This jarring artistic styling is a turn from their glitchy previous works. As a counter to the emergence of AI, they wanted to imbue their vocals with a �raw, irreplaceable edge". yeule will be embarking on a full North American tour following the release of Evangelic Girl is a Gun. Their previous albums, softscars and Glitch Princess, have both been named Best New Music by Pitchfork, with softscars landing at #10 on the year end album list and Glitch Princess being named one of the best albums of the decade so far.
