The Underground Youth - What Kind Of Dystopian Hellhole Is This? (2017)

The Underground Youth plays mainly dark post-punk infused with Shoegaze and Psychedelic Rock. The songs are often moody and raw, carried by catchy melodies that sometimes degenerate into a wall of sound. Many of the songs feature no choruses in order to amplify the lyrics with the musical atmosphere alone. While the first two albums Morally Barren and Voltage are still in the Lo-Fi psychedelic style, the albums Mademoiselle and Sadovaya form the basis of the band's current sound. The band not uses music only as a medium of expression, but also consciously uses other media to convey their message. In addition to using film scenes in video clips and on record covers, since 2010 the band have increasingly produced their own music videos and pictures, many of which were designed by Olya Dyer. The album A Lo-Fi Cinematic Landscape in particular illustrates the close connection that Craig Dyer sees between music and film. In addition to musicians such as Bob Dylan, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Cure, The Soft Moon, Lebanon Hanover, Velvet Underground and Cocteau Twins and the film, Dyer also mentions Russian literature and poetry as a major influence on his music.
