Review: With a midwest sound of punk guitars, indie rhythms and post rock taking precedence over the experimental and leftfield nature of Yves Tumor's 2016 Serpent album, tracks on Heaven To A Tortured Mind have been described by the New Yorker as "sonically defiant as they are destructive." It presents the artist with a second album for Warp following 2018's Safe In The Hands Of Love LP and brings to mind music from the Mars Volta and The Neptunes across its first half. Come to tracks like "Folie Imposee", "Strawberry Privilege" and "Asteroid Blues" you'll find classic strands of new wave guitars and acoustic drum graced by contemporary touches of emo pop and R&B that culminate in the sensualistic album closer "A Greater Love".
