Yves Tumor - "Crushed Velvet"

Yves Tumor surprise released their new EP The Asymptotical World yesterday and it is a 6-song stunner. They perfectly blend their pop and experimental tendencies into something both shockingly familiar and new. With a Yves Tumor song you never ever know what direction it is going to go. "Crushed Velvet" is a perfect example. Starting with an almost conventional opening with guitars, bass, drums, light synth washes, and Tumor's passionate vocals, it feels like a perfect pop song. But halfway, the song starts to build more insistently, culminating with a symphonic crush of guitars and swelling synths. I have tickets to see them in a few months, and I can't wait to see how they translate these songs live.
