Yaeji était depuis longtemps la coqueluche de la dance scene underground. Mais avec With A Hammer, son premier album, la chanteuse coréo-américaine vise encore plus haut ! Ce qui ressemble à première vue à des morceaux festifs et dansants s’enracine dans un sombre substrat de textes cyniques sur les préjugés, la colère et la répétition des erreurs de nos parents. Brisons le cercle vicieux !

“This debut album stands on its own as an artistically daring personal statement.” – Explaim

“Half of rage is confronting the sorrow that births it and watching it metamorphize. Witnessing the chrysalis is With a Hammer’s most generous gift.” – Pitchfork

“It traces Yaeji's emotional development, coming to terms with anger and resentment she had suppressed as a child—a period that she channels into her charged and surprisingly bracing new LP.” – Resident Advisor
