About

Serpent Music is the second studio album by American experimental musician and record producer Yves Tumor. It was released on September 23, 2016 on PAN record label. Described as an impressionistic collage, the album incorporates organic instruments, samples and field recordings. In addition to soul, the record features influences from ambient, club, pop, psychedelia and noise music. Eden Tizard of The Quietus regarded "juxtaposition" as a defining characteristic of Serpent Music, noting that "it merges ideas which would logically seem incompatible - grating noise one minute, blissed-out digital soul the next. "Pitchfork's Andy Beta compared the sonic traits of the record to those of James Ferraro and Dean Blunt, noting that "Tumor favors mysterious loops, soul music as rendered by the recently concussed and noise-as-loofah." The press release reported that the album was "initially composed as a soul record." On the soul description, Tumor has stated: "I never thought of it as soul music, but that’s just what I was doing.".
