vecher Absolutely stunning, thank you! Expressive, emotional, yet stern and deliberate. Clearly inspired by the classics, but fresh and unique, consistent throughout the entire length of the record with enough variety to not become stale. This is a long dead genre and it's always inspiring to find something so coherent, balanced and new, but not overexposed or oversaturated where it morphs into other things. This record feels personal to me, thank you for being sincere and not holding back. Favorite track: XV.

about

Brooklyn Vegan: Ann Arbor, Michigan screamo band Youth Novel had abandoned an unfinished album when they broke up in 2017, but during the pandemic, guitarist Maya Chun and bassist Jon Riley revisited the material with new vocalist Nathan Whittle and the result is a new self-titled album. The album description (written by Fred Thomas) reads:

Michigan based screamo band Youth Novel was active from 2012-2017, putting out a few releases and playing a handful of shows before unraveling. Just before the band dissolved, what was left of a shifting lineup was working on material for a new LP, with recordings being shelved when band members relocated. When the pandemic created unexpected free time, guitarist Maya Chun and bassist Jon Riley returned to the unfinished material with new vocalist Nathan Whittle to refine the arrangements and bring the songs back from their semi-abandoned state. The resulting self-titled album is eleven tracks of chaotic and brightly-burning emotive hardcore, serving as the final capstone of Youth Novel's brief but remarkable trajectory.
