Yves Tumor: Praise a Lord Who Chews but Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds) [Warp]
Yves Tumor chose a lengthy, enigmatic title for their third LP for Warp: Praise a Lord Who Chews but Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds). The album follows through even further on the artist’s shift from noisy electronic work to songs with a pronounced rock influence. Yves Tumor shared several tracks from the record ahead of its release, including “Echolalia,” “Heaven Surrounds Us Like a Hood,” “Parody,” and “God Is a Circle.” Listen to “The Subversive Power of Fever Ray and Yves Tumor” on the Pitchfork Review podcast.

100 gecs: 10,000 gecs [Dog Show/Atlantic]
Nearly four years after their debut, 1000 gecs, Laura Les and Dylan Brady are back with their second studio album as 100 gecs. The new album, 10,000 gecs, includes the highlights “Doritos & Fritos, “MeMeMe,” and “Hollywood Baby.” “10,000 gecs sounds like being hit in the face with pies for approximately 26 minutes, two best friends having the greatest time throwing all the dankest shit from their musical file cabinet at you while you accept your ridiculous fate,” writes Pitchfork’s Julianne Escobedo Shepherd in her Best New Music review of the record.

M83: Fantasy [Mute]
Anthony Gonzalez last issued an M83 album in 2019 with DSVII, a sequel to his 2007 ambient album Digital Shades, Vol. 1. He now returns to warm, bright electronic pop on Fantasy, an album guided by his desire to make something that would be “very impactful live.” He released “Oceans Niagara” as the record’s first single, chasing it with the album’s full front half in February.

Kosaya Gora, Kedr Livanskiy & Flaty: Kosogor [2MR]
Kosaya Gora is the new project from Moscow electronic artist Kedr Livanskiy and experimental visual artist Flaty. Kosogor, the duo’s debut, was recorded in a mobile studio across villages in Russia. “In one place, there was nothing but a forest, a cemetery and a ruined church,” Livanskiy said in a statement. “The wooden house we lived in was 120 years old, and this spirit is imprinted in some songs.”

Tei Shi: Bad Premonition EP [The Orchard]
The Canadian-Colombian musician Valerie Teicher is back with a new collection to follow 2020’s Die 4 Ur Love EP.
