After releasing the exquisite LP Heaven To A Tortured Mind, Yves Tumor briefly pivoted to the world of high fashion. Their music appeared in Louis Vuitton’s spring/summer 2021 collection video, and they even modeled in an Byredo eye makeup campaign. But they’re now ushering in a new era of music, complete with a colorful video.
Yves Tumor returned Tuesday to release the innovative alt-rock track “Jackie,” which features a pair of emotive electric guitars and a skittering beat that builds to a powerful chorus. The accompanying video reflects the track’s experimental nature, following the musician as they tepidly explore a disorienting sci-fi world.
In a statement about the visual’s creative process, producer Actual Objects said, “We loved collaborating with Yves Tumor on ‘Jackie’ — we’ve been massive fans for years. Their work is always so forward looking, and has always been a major inspiration for us. ‘Jackie’ was a chance for us to dig deep into our toolkit and work with some of our most experimental techniques.”
