Experimental pop artist Eva Liu b.k.a. mui zyu will deliver their sophomore studio album this spring.

Revealed today, nothing or something to die for will see a May 24 release via Father/Daughter Records. The 15-track album was co-produced by Liu and Luciano Rossi at Middle Farm Studios in Devon. A new single from the record titled “the mould” arrives with a visual directed by 3D artist and Dama Scout member Danny Grant.

Liu said this about the new single and its accompanying music video:

"'the mould’ is a frosted glacial sweetie about the many meanings of mould. mould is very cool, and the right kind can give you super powers. unfortunately though, it’s less than ideal to be squeezed in to a mould that doesn’t fit snuggly. so i’m at the bottom of the rotten jelly bowl trying to work out what mould is the good kind, and what is the bad kind, and maybe realising none of it really matters at all, as long as i can get out of this steep, slippery bowl. this also marks a new approach for my writing indicative of the whole record in a kind of anti-overture-y way.

Danny is one of the few creatives out there who can conjure up the complexities of the mouldiest mould, whilst also making space for a baby-bunny-zyu to adventure in a rotten plastic world. we make music together in Dama Scout and welcome absurdity and sensitivity to exist together. super happy to have his 3D brain and 4D vision for this moudly number."

Pre-orders for nothing or something to die for, which follows the artist’s debut album Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century, can be made here.
