Yves Tumor at The Wiltern

Yves Tumor is the solo moniker of Sean Bowie. Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, the enigmatic multi-instrumentalist experimented with music at a young age. From teaching himself bass guitar at the age of 17 and drawing inspiration from rock legends like Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin to exploring electronic music on the keyboard, Tumor has always pushed the boundaries of genre.

His music weaves together elements of rock, psychedelia, and electronica, constantly reinventing the landscape of pop music. His latest album, titled "Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)," released by Warp Records in March of this year, is supporting his global tour. It’s often described as an “uncanny recalibration of pop music.”

The release of “Praise A Lord…” marks the formal follow up to 2021’s well-received The Asymptotical World EP. This album received major recognition, with "Jackie" being crowned the number one song of 2021 by Crack Magazine and making it to Pitchfork's Top 25 songs of the year. The incredible track "Crushed Velvet" was featured in Spotify's Best of Indie for 2021 and hailed as one of Vogue Magazine's top songs of the year!!

This a performance you absolutely don’t want to miss! Yves Tumor is a sought-after performer and a fan favorite, gracing the stages of legendary music festivals like Pitchfork, Outside Lands, Portola, and This Ain't No Picnic. His live shows have received rave reviews, with The New Yorker calling him "unmissable" and The Austin Chronicle describing him as a “quintessential performer”. And critics have even compared him to industry icons such as Prince, Grace Jones, and Joy Division.
