Synth Pop from Lust for Youth

May 21, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Admittedly, the last few years I’ve always let B.Gray cover our electronically induced pop music. But, that being said, bands like Black Marble, TRUST and now Lust for Youth have really begun to sway my opinion. This new single from the latter is the perfect example of why I’ve begun to make that switch; it’s hard for anyone to listen to this track and not get excited about the band’s up-coming record. There’s not too much dabbling in oddities, instead just a straight-forward presentation of good old synth pop. You can expect more like-minded songs when the band releases International via Sacred Bones on June 10th (that’s one busy release day!).

New Synth Pop Up from Lust for Youth

March 25, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The last few releases from Lust for Youth have been really dark, and almost sterile, in their construction. But, this new single, from the band’s forthcoming LP, International, seems to have more pop sensibility, both in the electronic instrumentation and the tonal quality of the vocals. Still, there’s something dark and sinister that always seems to accompany the group’s work, so if they’re able to combine that with a few pop elements, this could be a hands-down favorite at the ATH offices. The new album will be out on June 10th via Sacred Bones, who will include a cassette of remixes if you pick it up from them.
