Synthetic World [LP]

Cure For Youth - Synthetic World [LP]

LA post-punk quartet Cure For Youth arrive with their debut LP Synthetic World — twelve songs, thirty-five minutes, no fat. Scott Savarie, Catarina Teles, Connor McKenna, and Nicolas Sturz make hook-heavy post-punk pressed through enough reverb, chorus, and delay to widen the room without losing the snap of musicians who learned their phrasing in the pit. The lineage runs through Joy Division at its sharpest and lands like Ceremony or The Men once those bands worked out what to do with their tempos.

Thematically the album sits in the present tense — modern life as a problem of attention, loss as the thing that arrives without permission.
