ISOLATED YOUTH LOVE LOCKED IN A DARK ROOM
Described by tastemakers and new label home Memorials of Distinction as "a lolloping swagger, full of seething love and hate", 'Love Locked in a Dark Room' is the arresting new single from Isolated Youth. Hailing from "cold nowheresville Sweden", the harshness of their surroundings clearly thaws into their sonic output as caustic guitars cut through foreboding bass lines and dirging drums. Produced by Faris Badwan of The Horrors (which makes a lot of sense if you ask us), 'Love Locked in a Dark Room' toes the lie between arena-ready anthem and multi-dimensional experimentalism incredibly well - think Muse meets Gilla Band but cooler. Arriving alongside the announcement of their new album miserere mei, releasing on the 4th of April, the future's looking bright for Isolated Youth and we can't wait to hear more. -Holly Mullineaux
