KÁRYYN turns emotional gravity into experimental pop on PULL

KÁRYYN’s Physics Universal Love Language (PULL) arrives on 29 May via Mute, and the title already suggests this is not a casual three-chords-and-a-chorus situation. The Syrian-Armenian-American artist has described the project as a kind of spiritual physics experiment, which sounds ambitious because it is. But the record’s promise lies in how those ideas are translated into sound: experimental electronics, art-pop structures, emotional tension and a voice that treats fragility as a source of force rather than weakness. With co-production involving names such as Hudson Mohawke and James Ford, the album has the potential to sit in that compelling space between club architecture, avant-pop drama and intimate confession. It is not designed to disappear into the background while you answer emails. It asks for attention. For listeners who like their pop music strange, physical and searching, PULL is one of today’s most intriguing releases.
