Hot Love
Young People - Collection
In a weird world, this song would be the national anthem for a small, canyon-rift country full of purple sunsets and arid breezes. Katie Eastburn's delivery is passionate, but at the same time her voice sounds almost detached from the music- as if she were singing from the stage and the band was playing on the floor below. But there's no way you can ignore the sounds on this track- it's so urgent and relentless, with tremolo-picked and slightly distorted guitar, sympathetic bass, and a rhythm pattern that jumps ahead of itself at every turn. 'Collection' is a short, simple song (one and a half minutes running time), but it's a great example of a small and perfect piece of music. You can buy the album that 'Collection' is from right here.
As I mentioned earlier on the papa-blog, Young People are now a duo (Katie and Jarrett Silberman), and are working on finishing up their third full-length. Gird your loins in preparation.
