LIMITED EDITION CLOUDY BLUE VINYL

Release Date: 4th March 2022

“Mercurial London artist Nilüfer Yanya announces her hugely anticipated second album, ‘PAINLESS’, for release via ATO Records. ‘PAINLESS’ is the follow-up to Nilüfer Yanya’s renowned 2019 debut album, ‘Miss Universe’, which fully established her as a singular artist and a distinctive voice that simply has to be heard. The critically acclaimed ‘Miss Universe’ – a widescreen concept record that took a tongue in cheek swipe at the most self-involved corners of the health and wellness industry – was followed last year by the three song EP ‘Feeling Lucky?’, which further explored Yanya’s fascination with ‘90s alt-rock melodies and drew on themes of resentment, her fear of flying, and the concept of luck. Pitchfork summed up ‘Feeling Lucky?’ and her now peerless songwriting aptitude best: “Nilüfer Yanya’s melodies have a pull so strong they almost necessitate their own law of physics.” Yanya also re-released her early EPs on vinyl for the first time this year, on the record ‘Inside Out’. The release is a fundraiser for Artists in Transit, a collaborative not for profit group she founded with her sister Molly that delivers art workshops to displaced people and communities in times of hardship.”
