Youth Sounds – ‘The Bit Parts’ EP

post brought to you by: dyson

3 songs is plenty to introduce you to the group Youth Sounds. Based out of New Orleans, they’re a band fronted by the brother and sister duo Erika and Federico Mejia and have put together a short EP of incredibly solid songs.

A full and powerful sound is topped with smooth vocals that leave you somewhere wondering if they came from the 80′s or present. A passion for 80′s synths is definitely noticeable from Federico but they don’t overpower the EP. The songs remain acoustic sounding with banging drums reminiscent of The National’s ‘Boxer’ (drum sounds I rave about), but topped with a shimmering edge to the production.

Youth Sounds is ironically a very appropriate group name. The band is less than a year old and only have ‘The Bit Parts’ to provide us. They’re currently working on writing more songs leading up to a full length. So make sure to keep an eye out for more to come from these guys and gals. If they can keep the quality of the tracks up, I would expect that album to be a killer one.

Having a listen to the lead off track on ‘The Bit Parts’ EP titled “As Strangers Would”. I feel like this is their sound that they feel most comfortable with. And that’s definitely fine by me. I personally can’t wait to hear more out of them.
