Evangelic Girl is a Gun is yeule's most unrestrained and emotionally baring work yet, as they grapple with ideas of a self-destructive identity burning through the canvas of post-modernity. The album follows yeule's late night TV debut on Everybody's Live with John Mulaney where they performed their single "Skullcrusher." The performance began with yeule bent over backwards on a dirt bike surrounded by backup dancers and an ethereal fog. Stereogum described the performance as, "serious pop star moves."
Evangelic Girl is a Gun sees Cmiel putting their own "cyborgian" spin on Bristol trip-hop and '90s gothic. The album features production from A. G. Cook, Chris Greatti, Mura Masa, Clams Casino, Fitnesss and Kin Leonn, Cmiel's trusted collaborator and co-executive producer of 2023's softscars. yeule's untreated vocals on the album also contribute to a sense of burning authenticity; rawness emerges as they abandon Auto-Tune. This jarring artistic styling is a turn from their glitchy previous works. As a counter to the emergence of AI, they wanted to imbue their vocals with a "raw, irreplaceable edge," they explain.

The new album follows their celebrated record softscars, which incorporated distorted guitars and alternative production. The arrival of softscars was met with immense critical acclaim earning their second 'Best New Music' stamp from Pitchfork, as well as applause from outlets such as The New York Times, The FADER, Stereogum, Alternative Press, NPR among others. The album followed their critically acclaimed 2022 release, Glitch Princess, which also received a Pitchfork 'Best New Music' stamp and overwhelming critical praise.
A chameleonic auteur guided by a multidisciplinary ethos, yeule crafts entire worlds and personas through their music, weaving together everything from the classical canon, hypermodern internet cultures, academic theory, the esoteric, and their own carnal desires.

The Glitch Princess, Nat Cmiel, was born 16 December 1997 in Singapore, Singapore. Nat Cmiel is a non-binary painter, musician, performance artist and cyborg entity.
The yeule project was fabricated by Cmiel to act as a portal or rift which allowed them to communicate their art to the outside world, while still being protected within their inner shell. yeule was constructed as a manifesto of Cmiel's own identity, where they have always had access to multiple avatars and the freedom to change or contort at will -- solace through embodying a mutable, chameleon-like multiplicity. The yeule project exists to store fragments of their reality, dreams, and emotional states -- an external memory device, a brain or emotional centre that exists independently of its creator. yeule is inviting us to transcend into a post-human world where expression is no longer bound by identity, but rather we are free to assemble ourselves along lines of affinity. A future where our assigned gender is no longer relevant, where we can congregate with whoever we are drawn to, regardless of our assigned human forms.
