KEATH ÓSK RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM ‘FOREWORD’
Keath Ósk, the singular creative behind the multifaceted viral folk sensation Yaelokre shares their debut album, Foreword.
Foreword marks a fresh start for Keath Ósk (they/it) as they re-record songs originally released under Yaelokre, using their real name and identity. Foreword signals Ósk as one of the freshest and most distinct voices in folk music of recent years.
Keath Ósk embarks on a world headline tour kicking off in Ghent, Belgium on October 7 before making their way through Europe and the UK (stopping at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on October 29) before a North American run that commences in Orlando, FL on November 9, concluding in Houston, TX on December 20. The 49-date tour brings Ósk’s expanded and newfound creative freedom to the stage. Tickets and complete information can be found HERE.
Yaelokre first arrived in January 2024 and quickly captured imaginations everywhere for their intricate world-building and immersive, leftfield folk sound. Blending traditional acoustic indie-folk with storybook illustration and deep character mythology, the project saw the Filipino-Icelandic singer-songwriter, illustrator, and multimedia creator unfurling a lore-heavy universe set in the fictional land of Meadowlark and focused on a musical ensemble known as The Lark – four animal-masked minstrels, each voiced by Ósk using distinct pitch-shifted vocals. Driven by the chart-topping viral breakthrough, “Harpy Hare” – which reached #1 on Spotify’s “Global Viral Songs” chart and ascended the TikTok Billboard Top 50 – Yaelokre amassed over 550M worldwide streams and more than 5M followers across social media.
