[ATTENDED: September 13, 2018] Yuno
I had heard of Yuno, but hadn’t realized it. All Songs Considered played his song “No Going Back” back in February. I liked it but had forgotten about it come September.
When I saw the poster for the Superorganism show and saw that Yuno was opening I assumed it was a dance band (possibly Japanese, probably female). But I didn’t investigate.
So I was surprised when Yuno came out and he was an African-American dude from Florida. As soon as he said his name (like “you know”) I remembered joking about the pronunciation of his name on the podcast and it all came flooding back.
Yuno is a 27-year-old from Jacksonville. He recorded a lot of his work in his bedroom and posted it on Soundcloud. In what sounds like a made up story Ishmael Butler of Shabazz Palaces started tracking him on Souncloud and eventually reached out to him to record an EP with SubPop. (Yuno didn’t tell us this, I looked it up). (more…)
