I feel funny using the phrase “heir apparent” when describing a newer artist in relationship with a past act. But, for Yves Tumor, calling them the heir-apparent to David Bowie is totally appropriate. Does Tumor sound exactly like Bowie? Nope. Not much at all. But the darkness, the theatricality, the hooks- all very Bowie-esque. “God Is A Circle,” lyrically, is a dark meditation on the what and why of what our parents teach us. It’s a stunning track, through and through.
“God Is A Circle” is available in all the usual spots. Expect more genius from Yves Tumor in 2023!
