King Yosef Details New Album "Spire Of Fear"

KING YOSEF, the Portland-based project of Tayves Yosef Pelletier, has rolled out the specifics of Spire Of Fear, the follow-up to 2023's breakout An Underlying Hum. Written, produced, and performed by Pelletier, the album was recorded and mixed at the legendary God City Studio with longtime collaborators Kurt Ballou and Zach Weeks and mastered by Alan Douches.

"Molting Fear" is the records first single and presented via music video, directed by George Douglas Peterson. The album will officially drop on August 15th via Bleakhouse Records.

“The idea of this song was to try to push the King Yosef thing as far as I possibly could, without any guitars," Pelletier reveals. "There’s no traditional instrumentation on this, other than drums. I wanted to make something where it got bigger in a shorter span of time than anything I’ve done before. It was about blurring the lines of 'what is this instrument, what is that sound,' and taking it to a very terrifying place.”

"Spire of Fear is influenced by Portland, because I am inspired by my friends," he comments on the album. "Between the time you spend together hanging out, going to each other’s shows or being at the studio when each of us record, it sort of all bleeds together into this amazing thing that creates a sound for where we are at. Portland’s DIY scene is consistently growing and transforming into the best version of itself I have seen since moving here 10 years ago."
