After previously unveiling “Red Bottom Sky” and the single “Hunting My Own Skin,” “Skimask” is Yung Lean’s most direct and hard-hitting track yet.

Produced by GUD, long-time collaborator and fellow member of SadBoys, the release of “Skimask” follows a huge year for Yung Lean; as well as independently releasing a full-length album Warlord and eight-track EP Frost God, he also embarked on a world tour, featured on Frank Ocean’s Blonde, and launched his own Sadboys Gear brand, co-designed a sneaker for Eytys, and dropped a punk album together with GUD as Död Mark. At just 21 years of age.

To follow the release of Stranger on 10th November via YEAR0001, Yung Lean is embarking on a European winter tour which will kick off on November 22nd and conclude December 16th. In January of 2018 he will set out on a North American tour, playing a run of 19 shows.
