Our Take

From the moment you hit play on CHILDHOOD's latest album, Universal High, you're transported to a funky, psychedelic world where anything seems possible. The London-based band has certainly embraced their 70s influences on this record, with groovy bass lines and dreamy vocals that are sure to have you dancing in your living room.

Lead singer Ben Romans-Hopcraft's smooth falsetto is the star of the show, effortlessly gliding through tracks like "Californian Light" and "Cameo" with a laid-back charm that's impossible to resist. The band's tight rhythm section keeps things moving at a steady pace, never missing a beat.

The standout track on Universal High has to be "Melody Says," a soulful ballad that showcases Childhood's knack for crafting catchy, unforgettable hooks. It's the kind of song that will have you hitting repeat before you even realize it.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album – tracks like "Understanding" and "Too Old for My Tears" delve into darker themes, with lyrics that explore the complexities of growing up and facing the harsh realities of adult life.

Overall, Universal High is a triumph for Childhood, a band that continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to make truly timeless music. So grab your bell-bottoms, crank up the volume, and let yourself get lost in the groove – you won't regret it.

With dreamy melodies, intricate guitar riffs, and infectious hooks, these lads have been making waves in the indie music scene since 2014. Led by the charismatic vocalist Ben Romans-Hopcraft, Childhood has a sound that is equal parts nostalgic and contemporary. Drawing influences from 60s psych-pop, 80s new wave, and 90s Britpop, their music is a melting pot of sonic experimentation. Their debut album, "Lacuna," released in 2014, was met with critical acclaim and established Childhood as a force to be reckoned with. Tracks like "Blue Velvet" and "Falls Away" showcased their ability to blend catchy hooks with introspective lyrics. Childhood's sophomore album, "Universal High," saw the band delving deeper into their love for disco and funk, creating a sound that is both danceable and introspective. With tracks like "Californian Light" and "Don't Have Me Back," the band proved that they were not afraid to evolve their sound. Having toured with the likes of Palma Violets and The Vaccines, Childhood has earned a reputation for their energetic live shows and infectious stage presence. Whether they are playing to a small crowd in a dingy club or headlining a festival, Childhood never fails to captivate their audience. With a new album in the works and a growing fanbase, Childhood is poised to take the indie music scene by storm. Keep an eye out for these lads, because they are destined for greatness.
