The Pop Corporation

Yaeji’s hyperactive electronic pop can veer in all directions, but we’re very glad to report that the new one is aimed squarely at the dancefloor and phasers are seemingly set to ‘banger‘.

The new track is called ‘booboo’ and, after moving away from clubland, it seems they’re back at it and taking names and numbers in the process. We don’t mean to overstate anything here, but the way the world is right now and the amount of introspective bedroom music that exists – we’ve never need things that bang more.

Either way, Yaeji is always inventive and super interesting whether its bangers in the bag or not, and this new one is out on XL and the first stuff we’ve heard in a little while.

She says about it all: “i think with anything – a little breathing room, a little break – distance makes the heart grow fonder. with the overpowering attention that came from raingurl, i took a break from clubbing, dance music, and the underground scene, but in that time away from it all, it’s allowed me to gain new perspective and a deeper appreciation for it. this year is the 10-year mark for many of the parties my friends and i used to go to, so ‘booboo’ coming out now feels like full circle moment. and with my closest friends—who i’ve witnessed grow as DJs and start their own labels, throwing parties & having fun, all while creating a radical and safe space, it’s been so fun being their cheerleader and now rejoining them in the club, front right!”

Strap in!
