Yeule

Nat Ćmiel, known professionally as Yeule, was born in Singapore on December 16, 1997. Their early musical foundation began at age 6 with classical piano, later expanding to guitar and drums. Growing up, Ćmiel experienced feelings of loneliness and depression, finding solace and influence in the internet, which became a significant theme in their work. After high school, they pursued higher education at Central Saint Martins in London, graduating in 2020 with a degree in Fine Arts.

Yeule’s musical project officially began in 2012, releasing their self-titled EP in 2014. Their artistry incorporates elements of ambient, glitch, and Asian post-pop, drawing inspiration from Final Fantasy characters for their stage name. A turning point in their career came with signing to Bayonet Records in July 2019, followed by the release of their debut studio album “Serotonin II” in October 2019. This album received positive critical reception, noted for its sound design and melancholic themes. The subsequent album, “Glitch Princess,” released in February 2022, was qualified as “pioneering” by Pitchfork and featured in their ‘Best New Music’ section, achieving a critical score of 8.3.

In May 2023, Yeule signed with Ninja Tune and released the single “Sulky Baby,” which was later included on their third album, “Softscars,” released in September 2023. “Softscars” was critically acclaimed for its shoegaze, dream pop, and pop rock elements, charting on the UK Indie and UK Album Downloads charts. Their fourth studio album, “Evangelic Girl Is a Gun,” released in May 2025, continued to expand their eclectic sound palette, combining pop, metal, EDM, trip hop, shoegaze, and sludge metal influences, and also charted in the UK.
