You know that feeling when you’re impossibly happy and you want to scream or yell or dance manically or jump up and down or just run as fast as you can? Sudden, uncontainable euphoria? The music of them:youth, a London fivepiece I’m really excited by, gives me that feeling. It’s epic and fiercely melodic: in some cases maudlin (Get Home Safely), in others balladeering (Stardust) and sometimes (Halo) just belting anthems with a dance fetish. There’s the most velvety of bass sounds, and the lyrics are rather pretty and twee. Gosh, it’s good stuff.
If you like Halo, you should also love the brilliant SkiBunny remix – it holds back the explosive chorus so long that you’re positively on your knees begging for it.
