REVIEWS
Young Culture have released their latest EP, “(This Is) Heaven.” Young Culture are a band that’s been receiving a lot of hype recently - and rightfully so. This newly released EP is one I’d been curious to check out, and I think the band have really stepped up their game with these songs.
Opener “Deluxe” has your attention from beginning to end, with the intro bringing upbeat drums and guitar riffs, and the verses providing melodies just as catchy as the instrumentals in that intro. The verses are a bit softer, providing a bit of elevation for the track, and preparing for a bigger chorus that is one of the most memorable ones on this EP. The bridge is the same away, with the drums and guitars building it up right before one fantastic final chorus. “Breathe It In” brings some of the catchiest melodies that this entire EP has to offer in its intro, and the same goes for its chorus. Something else I really liked about this one is that the instrumentals seem to take the spotlight more on here compared to the last track, with bass and guitars driving the verses, the drums really kicking in during the choruses and post-choruses, and the lead guitars showing off for a quick solo following the bridge. The midway point of this EP is the lead single “21 Days,” providing catchy and impressive guitar riffs similar to those in the opening track. The vocals show more and more emotion as the song builds up to yet another infectious chorus. “Never Changed” is pretty different sound wise compared to the rest of these other tracks, incorporating clean, ambient guitars and softer drums rather than harder hitting instrumentals. The vocals show off more on here, as well as on the final track, “Drift.” The melodies all throughout this song are incredible, from the softer intro to the energetic verses and chorus, and the overall performance really shows off the talent that the lead vocalist of this band has, and I feel like the instrumentals shine just as much as the vocals do. Young Culture have returned with an EP that not only shows their more ambient twist on the pop punk genre, but also how much they solidified their sound with this release, and it makes a memorable listen.
