The album referring to the popular quite recently movies about dystopian worlds is not exactly new, it was released in February but it's so good that makes the release date quite a secondary issue.
The band balances between post-punk, shoegaze and post-punk and adds this difficult to define focus on making their music. It starts with unbelievably calm "Half Poison/Half God" and when you think it's just a lull before the storm there goes the song number one of the album, "Alice", and it's.... just as delicate. This way of singing and making music is what characterizes the Underground Youth but it also doesn't mean their songs are not catchy ones, "Alice" for instance is really good to hum.
Don't misunderstand me, the music of the Underground Youth has also a lot of dark tension inside, as the, uniquely intriguing title of the album suggests. It is created mostly by the deep vocal that makes me think of the American gothic by Black Heart Procession (especially great in "A Dirty Piece Of Love For Us To Share"). The album fits perfectly the dystopian hellholes around the world.
"What Kind Of Dystopian Hellhole Is This?" costs 5 GBP.
