press release: 2018 was a benchmark year in music, highlighted by Safe In The Hands Of Love, the seminal release from Yves Tumor (WARP). The early single "Noid" spotlighted Yves Tumor's progressive vision for pop music, brutally intimate moments staggered between tense present realities and ethereal escapes. Today, the official video for "Noid" joins the incredible and steadily building repertoire for Yves Tumor, alongside the announcement for new shows in 2019.

"Yves Tumor piles sound on sound and style on style - noise, electronics, hip-hop, rock, R&B - throughout his new album, "Safe in the Hands of Love," most of which channels his dense, ever-morphing productions into something like songs." - THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Inlaid at the heart of the genre-busting fantasia Safe in the Hands of Love, "Noid" represents a new acme in Yves Tumor's career-long contempt toward the idea of taxonomy." - NPR

"Noid" is a jittery explosion of sugary pop undercut by Yves Tumor's still vocals, a combination that seems held together only by sheer will, quickly disintegrating into chaotic noise in the last minute." - THE FADER

"a dark and melodic pop record that has elements of Britpop and big beat...After a career of pushing himself to the farthest outskirts of musical styles, it's the tamest music that sounds most foreign and groundbreaking for Tumor." - STEREOGUM

"Yves Tumor joins the likes of Arca and SOPHIE at the vanguard of experimental pop." - RESIDENT ADVISOR

"[Safe in the Hands of Love] is a benchmark in experimental music. It is searing and borderless, music that is aware of oppressive confinement, and music with an intoxicating urge to be free. t's a beautiful new strain of pop darkness only Tumor could conjure up" - PITCHFORK

"He's not so much succumbing to pop music as he is bending its rules to fit his sound.....No current artist has captured the spirit of Bjork while sounding nothing like Bjork better than Yves Tumor." - VULTURE

"No matter if the synths are harsh, or the rhythm section arrives with the perfect groove, this is a work filled with an emotive purpose, and it is that core that makes it such a wonderful listen." - POPMATTERS
