To celebrate 10 years of Youth, Citizen and Run For Cover Records have teamed up to completely update the band’s debut LP. Since it’s initial release in 2013, the songs that make up Youth’s tracklist have been staples in mixtapes, playlists and record collections for listeners chasing what felt like a long-lost feeling in alternative music. Youth takes notes from the headbanging tempo of grunge, the hazy reverb of shoegaze, and the catharsis of emo together to make something deeply personal and profound. Songs like opener “Roam the Room” and the anthemic sing-a-long “The Summer” have been soundtracked a thousand stagedives at live shows, while pensive and moody songs like Figure You Out” and Sleep offer brief, downtempo respites with blissful melodies. Youth also features Citizen’s two most popular songs: The Night I Drove Alone builds from a quiet, isolated guitar strum into vocalist and lyricist Mat Kerekes’ diary-like confessional, exploding mid-song into a full-band barrage, while How Does It Feel incorporates dreamy shoegaze elements into a somber mid-tempo wall of sound.
