Visionary hyperpop-star and Charli XCX spar Yaeji builds on abundant acclaim for her 2020 debut with a diamond-cut 2nd LP formed by pressures of the pandemic and starring guest chops by Loraine James, Nourished By Time, K Wata, Enayet...
The keenly awaited ‘With a Hammer’ catches Kathy Yaeji Lee in uniquely agile form mutating her special blend of tropes from the house spectrum with memory updates of D&B, K-Pop, skudged downbeats and ‘90s grunge for a sweetly satisfying treat with wide appeal to lovers of classic, melody-rich synth-pop and a nervously hyper- modernity. It’s a properly impressive session that identifies Yaeji with more crafty sus and energy than most of her peers, a thing exemplified by the ambient soul-jazz with Loraine James, ‘1 Things to Smash’, and at the other end of the spectrum - the flash of radio-ready vocal harmonies and dextrous D&B to ‘For Granted’, exerting a very canny sidespin on everything she touches in between.
Sung in Korean and English, and set to her own clinical yet effortless production, the 13 songs pucker a personalised conception of pop that wears its pandemic-borne worries lightly, yet with a self-reflective pathos for the times. Recorded across stints in New York, Seoul, and London, it subtly betrays influence from each location as she flits from the sunny electro-jazz of ’Submerge FM’ to harmonic intricacies of ‘Be Alone In This’, via more brooding mutant D&B-pop like 3EMYBW meets Deerhoof in ‘Fever’, and playful sidesteps to trip-hop grunge on ‘Passed Me By’ and its titular highlight. The bad mood never dominates, though, as she makes room for superb moments of quixotic ambient jazz brass recalling Arthur Russell-via-Phew in ‘I’ll Remember For Me, I’ll Remember For You’, and its genuinely charming uptick in the 2nd half, finding strength in collaboration with K Wata on ‘Ready or Not’, and the scudding dance-pop yowl to ‘Michin’ with Enayet, or the club-cut swerve of ‘her ‘Happy’ jam with Nourished by Time.
Aye, it’s already primed to be a year-end favourite.
