Nilüfer Yanya is back, and she's got a new record locked in. Squares Will Fall arrives on Thrill Jockey November 13, marking the next chapter for one of indie's sharpest voices.
If you've followed her since Miss Universe in 2019, you know the drill: fuzzed-out guitar lines, that smoky vocal, hooks that sneak up on you days later. My Method Actor proved she could push her sound somewhere darker and stranger, and everything about this new album suggests she's still chasing that edge.
The Thrill Jockey home feels right, too. It's a label that lets artists follow their instincts, and Yanya has always been the kind of writer who trusts hers. Think back to "Stabilise" or the slow burn of "Baby Blu." She builds tension like few others working right now.
November 13 is the date. Mark it, set a reminder, do whatever you have to do.
This one has the makings of a stunner, and we're already counting down.
