Yus is the solo project of Youceff Kabal. Based in Phoenix, AZ, Yus records and performs some strange archetype of pop music. Palms, his first record was self-released digitally on Bandcamp, November 21st 2010. The sound showcased on it is a love affair between moving beats and buzzing bass lines that work alongside lush keyboard harmonies to support and propel catchy hooks. Youceff was born in Brussels, Belgium, on March 20th 1990, and moved to Phoenix, Arizona in September 2004. He started making music on his family computer during high school, putting together hip hop beats for his neighbor who was a rapper. The current sound came together after a successful streak of songwriting in late 2009. After months of producing, recording and starting over again, Palms was finally completed in late 2010. In support of it, Yus has opened for national acts such as Youth Lagoon, Phantogram, Balam Acab and more recently Zola Jesus. A new record is currently in production, with release planned for 2012.
