Friends of Our Youth

AnalogueTrash

Problem Is

The Manchester and Todmorden-based outfit have been busy since the release of their November 2022 album That Was Then. The quartet is currently working on a new album after signing to AnalogueTrash earlier this year, and the first glimpse of the band’s sonic rebirth comes with new single Problem Is.

Friends of Our Youth are a Manchester-birthed four piece bringing transcendent sounds from a differently-shaped constellation where human problems have long coalesced into bright spheres of beauty and love.

On Problem Is, Friends of Our Youth rework the sound of That Was Then, as the yearning vocals and cascading guitar melody ripple over the insistent rhythm section. Indie with a strong No Wave theme, it signals that the band’s second album will maintain their track record of harnessing influences as diverse as PJ Harvey, Swans, The Strokes, Suicide, and Courtney Barnett into a fluid yet familiar and friendly sound.
