Anchored by the mesmerizing vocals and stage presence of Lilie Hoy, YASSOU is a continually evolving group of musicians, producers, composers, and visual artists. Formed by Hoy and James Jackson in an Upstate New York high school chorus class, YASSOU is committed to bridging the worlds of pop and classical art. Their multimedia productions are bold, emotional, and full of longing.
Named a band “that should be on your radar” by Billboard, YASSOU has been compared to Radiohead and FKA twigs. Their 2013 EP In Fits In Dreams garnered widespread press attention. A striking collection of songs, it features the vocals of former Smashing Pumpkins’ bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur. In 2015, they released a Video EP, a six-song project crafted around a singular story and emotional experience. Released in an “album cycle” of single videos, NYLON pronounced the EP as “redefining the album” in our current era of digital democracy.
In the Fall of 2016, YASSOU premiered their first full-length composition at the Louisville Ballet. Alongside the works of Tchaikovsky and Philip Glass, their performance was part of the 2016-17 season and was accompanied by the Louisville Symphony. YASSOU opened for The National in 2016 and is set to release an EP and short film in 2018.
