Animal Youth - Animal (Weyrd Son Records) 2017

8

Brussels’ trio Animal Youth was born from the ashes of noise-punk band Siamese Queens and Animal is their debut album. Channelling their influences with splashes of The Smiths, The Jesus and Mary Chain and A Place To Bury Strangers, just to name a few, Animal is dark and almost a sadistic romantic affair, where love is just seeking space to storm into. Perversely genuine, almost sounding like a sustained exercise of minimalist post-punk with the idiosyncratic energy of noise rock, it challenges the listener with its confrontational attitude. So, if you’re having any kind love problems, this might a good start to clear your mind – even if sometimes its drama and filthy doses of reality kill the mood. Animal is full of top notch melodies and lethal introspection.
