Hardest Ever Ablutions

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: everything is 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.[Buy Young People]
