Yeule
Yeule (/ˈjuːl/ YOOL; stylised in lower case) is the musical project of Nat Ćmiel, a Singaporean singer-songwriter and producer. Starting in 2012, they incorporate elements of ambient, glitch and Asian post-pop. Their name is derived from Final Fantasy character Paddra Nsu-Yeul.
Nat Ćmiel was born in Singapore where they attended school. They first started playing music at the age of 6 on their parents' Yamaha piano and learned classically although eventually dropped taking lessons, and wanted to explore something more challenging which led them to guitar and drums. Ćmiel initially started playing waltz pieces, though they soon moved on to songs from the soundtracks of Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts. They later went on to sing in a jazz band under the name Riot Diet, covering songs from Ella Fitzgerald and the Pixies.
Growing up, feelings of loneliness and depression were present due in part to Ćmiel's nomadic upbringing. They found solace on the internet, which would influence their later works.
After graduating from high school, they applied to Central Saint Martins to study fashion communication and womenswear. Ćmiel graduated from Central Saint Martins in London with a degree in Fine Arts in 2020.
Ćmiel's first release under the Yeule title was their self-titled EP on March 3, 2014. Their name was inspired by the Final Fantasy XIII-2 character Paddra Nsu-Yeul, a reincarnating seeress with a fragmented soul; for Ćmiel, the character's "fate connotes the acceptance of mortality". On December 11, 2016, Ćmiel released their second EP, Pathos, which was dedicated to David Singh. Ćmiel followed up with the OST to interactive simulator game Lost Memories Dot Net, which was released on July 17, 2017.
On September 27, 2017, Ćmiel released their third EP, Coma. With regard to the writing, they said that "I wrote this album to commemorate the people I'd lost." The EP received a positive reception with Duncan Cooper of The Fader describing it as "dream-pop perfection". Ćmiel signed to Bayonet Records on July 17, 2019.
On October 25, 2019, Ćmiel released their debut studio album Serotonin II. On the process of creating the album they said that "Writing the record, I was dreadful. I didn't ask for much, I don't need to be happy. I just wanted to be content." The album received a positive critical reception with Jude Noel of Tiny Mix Tapes giving the album 4/5 and saying that "Melancholia aside, it's Serotonin II's impeccable sound design that has kept me coming back".
Ćmiel teased the release of their second album Glitch Princess via Bayonet Records with a track titled "My Name is Nat Ćmiel"—released at the end of 2020. The full album was released on February 4, 2022. It was qualified as "pioneering" by Colin Lodewick from Pitchfork and featured in their 'Best New Music' section with a critical score of 8.3.
