Notes:
         At one point on Heaven to a Tortured Mind, Yves Tumor sings "I
         can be anything." It may be the most definitive statement from an
         artist who resists boundaries as thoroughly, and creatively, as
         Tumor does. Since 2015, they've established themself as an
         unparalleled musical chameleon, changing their sound and
         perspective with each release and often within a single track. On
         2016's soulful collage Serpent Music and the kaleidoscopic pop of
         2018's Safe in the Hands of Love, the leaps Tumor made were huge.
         On Heaven to a Tortured Mind, they're smaller, but just as
         profound. This time, Tumor unites all the sounds they explored on
         their previous work into funky, futuristic, iridescent R&B pop
         that's more cohesive and immediate than anything they've done
         before. At this point, consistency is the most surprising move
         they could make, and Heaven's sonic clarity is almost as
         startling. Starting with "Gospel for a New Century"'s hard-edged
         fanfares, Tumor comes in louder and clearer than ever before.
         When they briefly revisit the noisy atmospheres that dominated
         their earlier releases, as on the skyrocketing distortion of
         "Medicine Burn" or the static-laden "Folie Imposee," it only
         underscores how far they've moved from that aesthetic on the rest
         of the album. This cleaner sound also lets the individual
         elements of Tumor's brilliance shine. Their voice is more
         prominent than ever, along with the vocals of their
         collaborators, all of whom help make sensuality -- the main
         constant in Tumor's work since Serpent Music -- the focus of
         Heaven to a Tortured Mind. The standout "Kerosene," a duet with
         singer/songwriter Diana Gordon that's equally reminiscent of
         Ariel Pink and Childish Gambino, lives up to its combustive
         title. On "Romanticist" and "Dream Palette," they recruit Kelsey
         Lu and Sunflower Bean's Julia Cumming to revel in the tender and
         turbulent extremes of new love. Similarly, their bass, the first
         instrument they learned how to play, provides an impressively
         serpentine spine for the drifting "Strawberry Privilege" as well
         as "Identity Trade"'s brassy psych-funk incantation. Frequently,
         the album feels like a love letter to the vintage soul Tumor grew
         up hearing, whether on the radiant "Super Stars" or the shadowy,
         mystical finale, "A Greater Love." Previously, Tumor has stated
         that they want to make songs listeners need to play. They more
         than achieve that on Heaven to a Tortured Mind, an album that
         suggests the easiest way to define Tumor is as an artist who
         consistently outdoes themself.
