‘Raingurl’ hitmaker Yaeji has announced that her long-awaited debut album will be arriving in April this year.

Yaeji – ‘For Granted’

According to a press release, With A Hammer was created throughout London, New York and Seoul and blends Yaeji’s “dance music roots with Korean indie rock, electronica and pop from the ‘90s and early 2000s.”

The album follows her 2020 mixtape What We Drew 우리가 그려왔던. Over the last couple of years, the NYC/Seoul producer has also released a web game called Woofa Joofa Juice Club and a track using samples from Pac Man. Yaeji broke through in 2017 with the ubiquitous singles ‘Raingurl’ and ‘Drink I’m Sippin On.’ In the years since, she’s been tapped for production work by Dua Lipa and Charli XCX and played festivals all across the globe.
