: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: What are the dreams of a youth that never makes time to rest? :,
: For Yung frontman Mikkel Holm Silkjµr, a Danish DIY figurehead :
:' who has left a catalogue of cassettes and self-produced songs ':
,: in his wake, the goal seemed to be recording, and living, as :,
: fast as possible. Since he began to record music as a teenager :
:' (his father put him behind a drum set when he was 4), slow ':
,: hasnÆt been his preferred speed. Writing and performing songs :,
: filled with gritty guitar and driving rhythms that snap like a :
:' live wire, heÆs been busy channelling the electric drive of ':
,: youth, creating brief, flashing sonic portraits of his life in :,
: Aarhus, the countryÆs gritty, industrial second city. :
:' ':
,: That makes the music on the reflective A Youthful Dream, the :,
: debut album from Yung, such a revelation. Angst makes space for :
:' wisdom, youthful exuberance begins channelling road-tested ':
,: experience, and a blur of basement shows and self-produced :,
: bromides becomes something more. DIY doesnÆt mean unrefined, it :
:' just means personal. And at a point where inertia made way for ':
,: introspection, Silkjµr showcased a new degree of songwriting :,
: craft and and sonic experimentation, and a new perspective on :
:' everyday life and young adulthood. ':
,: :,
: ôI didnÆt think a lot about what was going to happen with those :
:' earlier songs, I just wanted to create and talk about my life,ö ':
,: he says. ôThis time, it was all about the process.ö :,
: :
:' Where the previous releases such as These Thoughts Are Like ':
,: Mandatory Chores found Silkjµr masterfully running through :,
: buzzsaw riffs, recalling The Replacements and Jay Reatard, A :
:' Youthful Dream finds Silkjµr reshaping his DIY vocabulary and ':
,: experimenting with a larger sonic palette, in ways that may make :,
: fans do a double take. Richer melodies, pianos, and even :
:' trumpets made their way into the recording sessions at Sound ':
,: Studio in Sweden, where Silkjµr, Frederik Nybo Veile (drums) and :,
: Tobias Guldborg Tarp (bass) decamped with a handful of guest :
:' musicians. Consider the airy, self-referential ôThe Child,ö a ':
,: reverie or languid guitar lines punctuated by a horn line; the :,
: mid-tempo swagger of ôUncombed Hair,ö suddenly amping up without :
:' losing control; or the slow build of ôThe Hatch,ö its anthemic ':
,: scope and chugging drums lines showing a new compositional :,
: mastery without losing the immediacy and energy of past efforts. :
:' ':
,: :,
: Coming from a musical family in the punk rock capital of :
:' Denmark, Mikkel rejected any musical involvement at first, ':
,: essentially not wanting to be like his dad. As the punk prodigy :,
: became more and more a part of the local sceneùdeveloping an :
:' admiration for local cult legends Cola Freaks, playing in Urban ':
,: Achievers and Happy Hookers For Jesus, creating a cottage :,
: industry for local bands via his Shordwood Records label, and :
:' finally recording as Yungùhis songwriting skills grew, ':
,: maintaining the feverish energy while perhaps losing some of the :,
: child¡like carefreeness of the past. After more than a decade of :
:' writing songs (he's now 21), heÆs grown bored with other ':
,: peopleÆs perception of what ôpunkö means, and his ambitions and :,
: songwriting have evolved. Always on the move and in the moment, :
:' Silkjµr has created a musical step forward, while pausing to ':
,: consider and reflect on the past. :,
: :
:' ôFor me, Yung has always equalled total freedom,ö says Mikkel. ':
,: ôI donÆt want Yung to be a band that you can put certain labels :,
: on. I wish for it to be a project that can principally go in any :
:' given directionö. ':
