The Youth - I'll Call Your Bluff / You've Done Me Wrong (2014)
The Youth are a four-piece outfit from
Denmark, specializing in enthusiastic garage rock with some
traditional leanings, manifested in song structuring, tone, and the
fuzzed-just-right production work which provides them with their
shaggy but slick sheen. Guitar, bass, drums, and vocals are all
punched-up and just raw enough, with some extra rip packed in here
and there by the singer. The two tracks come off as honestly
dedicated to the rock (unless things are drastically different in
Denmark, garage rock is hardly a shortcut to the charts) and that
genuine fondness for what they're playing serves the band quite well.
The 7" is available through State
Records (and limited to 500 copies, the first 250 of which come with
a post-card from the band), so if you're one of those dedicated
seekers who can't be satisfied by pale imitations, go ahead and pick
yourself up a copy of the single to show The Youth it's worth their
efforts to continue. You'll be snapping your fingers and trying to
dig these earworms out in no time.
