| Today, G59 Record$ duo and New Orleans cousins $uicideboy$ debut Spring Season (1989-1990), the first EP of their 4-part Yin Yang Tapes series, which will be available this month – listen HERE. Each Friday in May, the group will release a 4-song EP named after one of the four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Guest features on the Yin Yang Tapes include artists Ghostemane (“Bloody 98”) and Freddie Dredd (“Provolone & Heroin”), marking the first time non-G59 artists have appeared on a $uicideboy$ track in over three years.
Accompanying the music releases will be a Japan-inspired animation series animated by Tristan Zammit (Metallica, XXXTentacion, Juice WRLD). The visuals, that will serve as music videos, will follow $uicideboy$-inspired characters Wetto and Blanco existing in a macabre occultist reality set in a barren and abandoned post-post apocalyptic New Orleans. Together, the four videos will reveal a complete story. The first animated video, entitled “Hot Razor” will debut on May 12, followed by a new visual every week.
Later this month, the $uicideboy$ will announce the dates and support acts for their 2023 Grey Day Tour in North America and the release date of their next full-length album, which will be available this summer. The new tour dates will follow a wildly successful 2022-2023 run that brought the $uicideboy$ to arenas and amphitheaters in over 40 US markets. They also went overseas for a nearly sold-out 16-date European tour. Together the tours collectively combined for over 500,000 tickets sold. After the US and European tours, the group made their first appearance as a top-billed act at the 2023 Coachella Music Festival.
The Yin Yang Tapes follow a joint-EP that the $uicideboy$ released in February with their G59 Record$ labelmate Shakewell. The EP has garnered over 50 million streams on Spotify alone, and its single “Big Shot Cream Soda” debuted in the Top 10 of Spotify’s Top Songs Debut Chart in the US. As of April 2023, the $uicideboy$ are in the Top 100 of the highest-streaming artists of all time, according to ChartMasters. Their top-streamed track on Spotify has garnered over 500 million streams, while their top two performing albums, I Want To Die In New Orleans and My Liver Will Handle What My Heart Can’t, have combined for over 1.2 billion streams on the platform. |
