QUENCH (a lullaby) is out now ☁️

"Quench is about being trapped in a soft-focus ‘in-between’ — cycles of addiction or attachment that loop back on themselves like a recurring dream. It's tender and suffocating, like cotton candy brain fog.”

Chatting on ABC radio about the intricacies of writing our first bilingual song:

"The music has to follow [the tones of the Mandarin words] or the word will have no meaning or a completely different meaning. So in a way, the words in Mandarin helped define the melody."
How Mandarin language shaped Yulan and Blaise's latest song - ABC listen
The latest release by duo Yulan and Blaise is a bilingual song that's creation was partly driven by the tone of Mandarin words used in the song.

our latest release exists at the intersection of faye wong, björk, portishead, and a shigeru umebayashi soundtrack.

Hi Bluesky (and hey new followers!) We’re an experimental pop duo melding 90s Bristol trip hop influences with dreamy vox and obscure/folk instrumentation. Our debut single God Complex came out in November. Yulan is a singer-actor and Blaise is the sax player for the Violent Femmes. #music

things we were thinking about when we wrote our debut single ɢᴏᴅ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇx:

love in uncertain times
the climate crisis
ocean earths
the allure of nostalgia
billionaires on space ships
the wealth gap
space colonisation
the tension of biraciality
being both coloniser and colonised
the matrix (1/2)
