about
The three members of exhilarating Auckland trio Evening Is Youth: front-man Connor Robinson-Pierce (singer/guitarist), Jack Collin (bassist) and busy guy Luke Lattimore (drummer/fireman/pilot/electrician) deliver two minutes and twelve seconds of brilliance in ‘Did You Find Your Brain?’ - a track that confidently careens between the whimsical and the chaotic.
‘Did You Find Your Brain?’ does explore some serious topics tho' - connecting dots between universal adolescent concerns of mental health, identity and self worth. Punchy and textural, Evening Is Youth cleverly wrap these somewhat 'dark-ish' lyrical themes around wonderfully hooky alt-pop melodies.
Sonically showcasing their almost obsessive fascination with early 80’s post-punk and first-wave Britpop music (belying the members’ young age) the band also weave electronic elements (reminiscent of MGMT, Animal Collective and M83) into ‘Did You Find Your Brain?’.
lyrics
evening is youth
did you find your brain?
Verse 1:
I thought I’d like too
But change isn’t the cure
To dreams of being happy
I’m still alone
Chorus:
Did you find your brain?
Did you find your brain?
Verse 2:
I never found my brain
It wasn’t in the city or the halls
Or between lines of academic walls
Oh help me find my brain
Chorus:
Did you find your brain?
Did you find your brain?
