3 track album
Kent, the garden of England, famous for the award winning Music Hall in Ramsgate, and the birthplace of the Canterbury Scene. But local resident Young Thymos isn’t interested in noodle-brapping heady pastoral prog and rather sets control for the heart of the heart, writing gothic minor key piano-led pieces that reference and imply depression and suicide several times over the short run time. There are stylistic nods to Perfume Genius, Have A Nice Life, Angels of Light, maybe even a little Elliott Smith. There’s a previous album, I notice, called Zelfmoord. As bandcamp doesn’t have the notional welfare checking that one might expect from the label system (even if it is just an imagined label boss listening to this record on delivery and firing off an email saying ‘are you ok pal?’) then this record possibly sits closer to catharsis and anguish than something that I’d be comfortable with attempting some kind of critique of. I think rating this would be unfair.
