'a perfect example of a band hitting their stride...will undoubtedly show up on a number of best of lists.' lambgoat // oh, how they've come a long way. formed in 2006, young widows originally drew favorable comparisons to the 90s heyday of cacophonous noise-rock. five years and three albums later, in and out of youth and lightness finds the band digging much deeper and further back for inspiration. with their sprawling post-punk blasts shining cracks of lights through pitch black neo-noir fever dreams, young widows have clearly become a more sinister and thought-provoking beast. youth and lightness was produced by the band and kevin ratterman (my morning jacket) at the funeral home in their hometown of louisville, ky. the musical palette remains fundamentally the same - singer - guitarist evan patterson's cavernous, warped blues riffs weighted by nick thieneman's earth-shaking bass and drummer jeremy mcmonigle's sturdy, shifting rhythms - but the augmented instrumentation and choral vocals lifts them to incredible new heights. with lyrical themes of emotional despair and domestic dissolution leading to inevitable catharsis, youth and lightness finds patterson rising from his personal hell with a level of wisdom and maturity that most aggressive bands will never know.
