Whenyoung – The Collector (YALA! Records)

| Whenyoung - The Collector |
Release Date: Out Now
I went to Limerick once. For a
wedding. Great wedding but didn’t see much of Limerick and what I did see
certainly didn’t look anything like local trio Whenyoung. The new single from
the three piece, ‘The Collector’, opens with a haunting little guitar line that
sounds like it’s been left behind by the XX but by the time vocalist Aoife
Power the tune is transformed in to something with a much warmer heart. The
guitars chop and bounce like all good indie-pop should but there is a sad tone
behind the scenes here which gives this an unsettled vibe and a sense of
missing out that comes from bands that want more than they have. For me, this
is pitched somewhere between Young Knives, the Subways and JJ72 but there are myriad
influences at play here creating an utterly charming song.
