Seattle darkwave duo Youryoungbody have just released their long-awaited debut LP Devotion, their first new release since the 2016 EP Betrayer. Together, they continue to craft haunting, synth-heavy tracks that make you want to dance and hide from the sun.
In an interview with New Noise, vocalist Duh Cripe reflects: We really dug into our past for this musically and personally. I spent a lot of time sneaking out and going to raves. We wanted that energy to be felt in Devotion. The nervousness and excitement of a sweaty club when you’re sixteen and doing something you know you shouldn’t be doing. Devotion is also highly personal for me, since I get a chance to confront my abuser through ‘Intentions’ and process the slow death of a relationship. This album really came together through our devotion, and that’s probably where the album got its name. We also just liked the way the words sounded.
