Yeule said of ‘Softscars’ via a press statement: “I took the metaphor of the scar to represent each song, and each scar remains soft. Whether you’re healing from emotional trauma or a physical wound, time never heals a scar completely. There’s no more pain, but you can still see the mark afterward. I have a deep feeling that the things my ancestors went through got passed down; there’s some trauma that just sticks. There was always decay and distortion in my life, there’s always been something wrong or ugly. So the scar reminds me that I’m being protected, and I should protect myself.”

To accompany the announcement of ‘Softscars’, Yeule has released two singles from the forthcoming album, titled ‘Dazies’ and ‘Fish In The Pool’. Listen to both tracks below.

‘Dazies’ comes with an official music video, which you can watch below.
