Biography

The male/female lead vocal combo sounds a bit like the one in Of Monsters and Men. Not only are any guy and girl who sing soaring choruses together now destined to be compared to them and/or Arcade Fire, but certain harmonies and lyrics sound like they could fit on My Head Is An Animal. Perhaps the other main point of reference is first-album Mumford and Sons, before they decided that every chorus should consist of a massive banjo-wank and a couple of vague, shouted lyrics. The Youth and Young only pilfer a little from the best aspects of Mumford – the emotive strings, the cheeky bits of brass and a couple of shameless ‘woah-oh’ refrains.
