fourty six: Your Twenties


Fans of fine dining and 45s, Your Twenties, aren't the missing link to a long line of contemporary artists, nor the missing piece of the puzzle.
The five piece from London are the anomaly in the science experiment, the misfit amongst the school children, who claim that, personally, their music doesn't reference to any contemporaries they can think of.

On listening to Caught Wheel, their most recent release, it's hard to decide what makes the track so darn good, you only know that the components of the bump and bleep of the background synths, well practiced backing vocals and the infectious Metronomy-esque guitars make something addictive that needs to be shared.

But don't get tetchy, Your Twenties aren't aducting Metronomy and shamelessly ripping off their characteristics. Lead singer, Gabriel happens to venn diagram it over to Metronomy in the form of one third of those dance moves and their fabulous bassist. And to add to the share and care atmosphere, front man of Metronomy, Joe Mount acts as Producer to YT when he's not off on synth's cloud 9 dreaming up new songs, without there being a pinch of tension between the two outfits.

Caught Wheel can be bought here.
And listened to here.
