In an era when patience is in short supply and immediacy is worshipped, Swedish artist Yaeger quietly demonstrates the power of not rushing – of waiting until you truly know what you want to say, and how you want to say it. After years of experimentation and self-discovery, she has arrived at that place, and it feels as though her time is only just beginning. What Yaeger has crafted is intensely contemporary emotional rave-pop, delivered with a bold theatricality that feels like a deconstructed pirate costume come to life: glitchy synths and tumbling percussion anchored in heartfelt, wide-open melody, all swaying somewhere between catharsis and ecstasy. Her long-anticipated debut album “Piratebae” is set to arrive on 10 April, a project that captures this daring blend of vulnerability and club-ready euphoria. Early singles like “Poseidon” and “Hazy Eyes” have offered glimpses of an artist unafraid to flirt with chaos and tenderness at once, turning dancefloor energy into a language of feeling. This year, Yaeger brings that next-wave vision to Way Out West.

Yaeger will perform in Slottsskogen on Thursday August 13th
