Pirates Atlantic Records, Yaelokre, balik jeung single anyar maranéhanana, “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.</pfseg>

A skala dunya fantasi anu geus diwangun nyaéta badag, sakumaha dina istilah naratif jeung lore. Tapi esensinya téh relatif sederhana. lagu-lagu anu diatur dina dunya fiktif tina Meadowlark jeung diagram petualangan tilu anak maskered nu ngagaduhan ensemble musik dipikawanoh salaku The Lark: Cole, Clémente, Peregrine, jeung Kingsley. Anjeun ngajadikeun salaku wakil tina The Harkers, makhluk mitos nu ngabalukarkeun prinsip dasar alam, wonder, jeung chaos. Naon deui, Yaelokre ngabalukarkeun sagala karakter béda dina alam semesta maranéhanana.

Yaelokre ogé bakal ngéléhkeun EP anyar taun 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… “It’s a realization that children are raised with the expectations of being grateful to the point that it renders negative emotions; which are supposedly natural, to be a sign of dissent. This song was written as a reminder that we cannot truly combat how we react because it is within our nature to feel. Simply; we eat as we are hungry. The more I performed it live, the louder the track got; in comparison to the demo, a voice paired with a guitar, it felt easy for me to adjust to its new sound. A type of aggression, that again, felt so natural. Harmony in the chaos of it all.”

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.”‍
