Our Take

YOUNG EMPIRES' latest album, Gates, is a sonic journey that defies categorisation. From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where indie-pop meets electronic wizardry in a kaleidoscope of sound.

The opening track, "The Gates", sets the tone with its infectious beats and shimmering synths that instantly grab your attention. Frontman Matthew Vlahovich's vocals are a perfect match for the pulsating energy of the music, drawing you in with their raw emotion and undeniable charisma.

As the album progresses, tracks like "So Cruel" and "Mercy" showcase the band's ability to effortlessly blend catchy hooks with intricate production, creating a mesmerising listening experience that keeps you coming back for more.

One standout moment is the track "Stranglehold", a haunting ballad that showcases a more vulnerable side to the band. Vlahovich's vocals soar over a backdrop of swirling guitars and pounding drums, creating a sense of urgency that is impossible to ignore.

Overall, Gates is a triumph for YOUNG EMPIRES, showcasing their versatility and undeniable talent. This is an album that demands to be heard, a sonic gem that shines bright in a sea of mediocrity. So grab your headphones, press play, and let YOUNG EMPIRES take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
