YUNO:
Yuno’s full-length debut, Blest, out May 16 on Sub Pop, finds the enigmatic indie-pop visionary transforming the emo-tinged suburban malaise of his 2018 Moodie EP into more expansive, widescreen pop drama — suited for big moves and bigger stages. The kaleidoscopic sound he devised as a millennial hermit in his childhood bedroom in Florida has since broadened his horizons, taking him on tour with Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Superorganism, and soundtracking various series for Netflix and HBO. Imbued with elements of dream-pop, rock, trap, and psychedelia, his eclectic songs serve as bids for love and connection, which especially in the fractured era of social media, have resonated with many listeners who find solace in his vulnerability.
WINDSER:
When Jordan Topf was just seven years old, his father abandoned him in a hotel room in Costa Rica. With the bleary shock of a polaroid flashbulb, Topf pulls the memory into clarity: his dad joining a woman he’d just met on a motorcycle ride, and leaving him behind, alone, for 24 hours. “I remember the sound of the engine roaring and dust flying, sitting at the hotel pool, half submerged as my heart sank,” Topf says. “I crawled into a creaky bed in the darkness, alone, more alone than I’d ever felt. Thousands of miles away from home, in a country where I didn’t speak the language.” That trauma lived in the back of Topf’s mind for years until he found a path forward: writing a song about it called “Abandon”, the lead single from his self-titled debut as Windser. “I had to set myself free from the pain,” he says. “I allowed myself to feel openly and truthfully, to write something that could help me understand my father and how I’d suppressed these feelings for so long.”
Both in his life leading up to this debut and through the album itself, Topf has learned how to grow into himself—how to face the pain and embrace the beauty. Across Windser, he shares his journey of coming to an understanding of his relationship with his father, of the pain in his past, of becoming more aware of his own emotions. But thankfully it didn’t end there. “I had reached a ceiling and I was cracked wide open, but I also reached the point of finding everlasting love as a means of safety, security, and changing the course of my family history,” he says. The dreamy ballad “Shut Up and Kiss Me” honors that love in an airy falsetto and blocky piano that recalls the Plastic Ono Band. Topf wrote the song for his wife, the pair having freshly married after a decade together. And after the exploration of pain in his past, the track highlights the timeless emotion that only Windser can reach: the freeing power of love, and how the world comes together when it’s right.
