#303: Yaeji

Yaeji on Her Four Journals, “Kimbap Lab”, Basketball, and more.

Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Yaeji to share a taste of her taste on Perfectly Imperfect.

Yaeji is a New York City-based musician whose debut album ‘With A Hammer’ is out today on XL Recordings after a great run of singles; “Passed Me By,” “Done (Let’s Get It),” and “For Granted”. Her new record is a follow up to her 2020 mixtape ‘WHAT WE DREW 우리가 그려왔던’ and 2017 EP’s (‘Yaeji’ and ‘EP2’) which included hit tracks like “Raingurl” and “Passionfruit”. Last September she played the Marc Jacobs Heaven party with Doja Cat, Charli XCX, and more, and now she’s back with her first ever North American tour which will end in May with two sold out shows at Brooklyn Steel. She also has her own bespoke lifestyle webstore called ji-mart that you can find here. Lucky for us, Yaeji is here to tell us what she’s been into.

Without further ado
