If the Captain and Tennille were into dark progressive space rock, they might have really lit the world on fire. Thirty years later the Youngs have emerged to fill the void. Their catchy, well-crafted songs will make us all shed a tear for love and death, Seattle sadcore style. This dynamic duo (a married couple in real life) succeeds in their aim of fearlessly charting the astral regions, telling us moving tales of living and dying on a fucked-up planet like this one, with love as their backseat driver.
Live, the golden voiced Eryn Young sings and plays drums & samples simultaneously, with Tim Young playing guitar & bass pedals and singing simultaneously. It’s like two one-man-bands in one.
