Pirouetting on decadence, meeting eyes with a dizzy sensation, falling and flying at the same time, Lust for Youth (Hannes Norrvide and Malthe Fischer) have continually held poise through the most vitalizing of times.
On their album, Compassion, Lust for Youth examined euphoria and contemporary life with a wry wit. Where facetiousness masqueraded as commitment, compliments and fawning clearly yearned for a true connection. The disaffected balearia is rendered into brighter pop compositions that bustle with intricate production. No longer galvanizing us with hooks, but with a songcraft unhindered by anxiety, the album presents a cohesion not seen in the project until now.
Their self-titled collection of eight songs, is sure-footed where they had earlier feared to tread, and light-headed for a new set of reasons. The album is driven by a dance-pop agenda, hustling its way through upbeat peaks that level out into reflective ballads. While still taking clear cues from a crop of austere synth-pop, Lust for Youth sound brighter than they ever have before, taking tips from some of the flirtiest Eurobeat to aid their new direction.
Accidental Win was their first music to follow their Lust For Youth record. This single is full of super catchy dance grooves, crooning melancholic vocals and an icy depth at once effortlessly cool and hopelessly romantic.
The digital single Giorgia marked the first time that Hannes writes and sings in his native Swedish, revealing a new layer of vulnerability to Lust For Youth’s music. It's a guitar driven anthem with a pulsating synth bass, that evokes the hazy warmth of summer nights while also conveying a disquieting sense of darkness and unease.
