Yaelokre Nyebatkeun “To Douse A Scalded Tongue”
Newly signed Atlantic Records artist, Yaelokre, returns with their new single, “To douse a scalded tongue” - Listen HERE.
If you ever feel as if music has lost its capacity for surprise, the seductive wonder and infinite creativity of Yaelokre will respark your belief. The Filipino-Icelandic artist - real name Keath Ósk (they/it) - fuses three imaginative strands to their visionary expression: intim, innocent folk infused with leftfield surrealism and instant pop accessibility; karya seni nu intricately detailed and beautifully seductive; and storytelling which brings personal experience and poetry into rich, fable-like narratives. Naon deui, all three of these elements are crafted by this one artist...a truly unique creative polymath.
The scale of the fantastical world they have created is vast, both in terms of narrative and lore. But its essence is relatively simple. The songs are set in the fictional world of Meadowlark and chart the adventures of four masked children who comprise a musical ensemble known as The Lark: Cole, Clémente, Peregrine, jeung Kingsley. Aranjeunna ngagambarkeun salaku perwakilan tina The Harkers, makhluk mitos anu ngabalukarkeun prinsip dasar alam, wonder, jeung chaos. Naon deui, Yaelokre ngabalukarkeun sakabeh karakter béda dina alam semesta maranéhanana.
Yaelokre ogé bakal ngéléhkeun hiji EP anyar dina panon ieu disebut Origins. A prologue of sorts, each song will represent one character from the musical ensemble and their background, recognizing their signature sounds and identity, and allowing the audience to become familiar with the lessons each individual hopes to portray.
On their new single, “To douse a scalded tongue,” Yaelokre delves into the character, Peregrine, evoking vivid, poetic imagery and a slow-building emotional intensity. They explain… “Éta realisasi yén anak-anak anu dibéjérbéaskeun jeung pangharapan pikeun jadi bersyukur nepi ka titik yén éta ngabalukarkeun emosi négatif; nu dipikawanoh naturally, pikeun jadi tanda disent. lagu ieu ditulis salaku pamingpin yén urang teu bisa bener ngalawan kumaha urang reaksi sabab éta dina alam urang pikeun ngarasakeun. Simkuring; urang makan lamun urang lapar. Saeutik kuring ngajalankeun eta hirup, saeutik track meunang; dibandingkeun jeung demo, hiji suara disambungkeun jeung gitar, éta rasa gampang pikeun kuring pikeun ngatur kana sora anyarna. A jenis agresi, nu lagi, rasa jadi alami. Harmony dina kaos tina eta sakabéh. "
Their immersive, escapist stories are largely inspired by Yaelokre’s own life. The four Larks represent different stages of their childhood, and writing their songs felt cathartic for their creator. “This project revolves around lessons that I’ve learned from life.” Those recurring lessons vary in nature, but those wisdoms all feel like universal truths. “The main lesson is to listen, be kind, and spread compassion. Be courageous. Do not let yourself be fenced in. Chaos is natural, and it’s not always a bad thing. You have to mind the past so you can find a better future. You need to be open-minded. And most importantly, you need to live in the moment: now is more important than anything.”
