Lust For Youth (CD)
Lust For Youth
Amoeba Review
08/10/2020
Now a duo, Copenhagen synth heartbreakers Lust for Youth return with a buoyant, unusually upbeat self-titled album. It’s a slight yet noticeable shift from what a press release refers to the group’s previous “disaffected balearia… into brighter pop compositions that bustle with intricate production.” Naturally there’s still a tinge of melancholy to the lyrics and a wistfulness to the melodies, but over all this glistens with a seductive synth-pop sheen. If the band’s earlier catalogue was the ideal soundtrack to an endless night out, this is the perfect listening material for staying up all night and watching the sun rise.
