Watch: Youth Valley Drop "I Don't Want To Go Out With You, Veronica"

Athens, Greece indie pop/shoegaze/dream pop/alt band Youth Valley have dropped the video for their new single "I Don't Want To Go Out With You, Veronica (feat Serafim Tsotsonis)".

The song, produced by Alex Bolpasis and Youth Valley, is taken from their upcoming debut album, out around November 2022 via Make Me Happy Records. Grab it here.

Youth Valley’s style revolves around genres like new wave, post punk and 80’s indie rock like 'the Cure' or ‘the Smiths’ dressed in a more contemporary shoegaze guitar-based coat, inspired by bands like DIIV.

The album will involve a series of songs that explore the emotional state of youth within a modern society, but also the stories of youth that made today's adults be who they are. Thoughts and reflections relating past to present will be unfold, spoken out loud and expressed, not in the form of confession, but in an attempt to look for answers hidden in traumas and fears.

"I Don't Want To Go Out With You, Veronica is about modern love relationships, the metaphorical or literal distance between couples or new loves, and the suffocation each individual might feel within their mind, by society pressure and norms and expectations, contradicting with the modern expendable relationships. Aesthetically,  the aim is draw inspiration by the 90's atmospheric era of cinematography."

New Entry: The Islas Unveil New Single "The Absence of You"

Norfolk indie rock/alt/new pop band The Islas have unveiled their new single "The Absence of You".

With upbeat rhythms, sharp melodies and thoughtful lyricism that hints at influences of The Smiths, Beautiful South, Paul Weller & Sam Fender, their songs are harvested from youth and the experiences British adolescents face throughout their journey into adulthood. The anxiety, happiness, sadness and first loves - and everything in-between.

Written throughout the confines of the pandemic, the song arose after the downfall of a long term relationship. Tackling post-break-up emotions and the feelings of insecurities, regret and lack of confidence, Baverstock shares, “The single is not really a love-sick song about wanting someone back, just the sensation of feeling empty and realising that that chapter of your life has gone.”

It is taken from their upcoming six-track EP 'Oblivion'. Get it here and take a listen below.
