about

Idle Youth release their next single The Metamorphosis, a quick follow up to the previous month’s release of Enter/Desire; the next in a collection forming a ten track album over the course of 2022. Mastered By legendary engineer Noel Summerville, The Metamorphosis takes fragmentary inspiration from the Franz Kafka novel of the same name.; exploring toxicity in ones own thoughts and the conflict created by whats looking back at them. The punchy lyrics are backed up by sparse, yet striking post punk arrangements of cold synths and guitar hooks, keeping that 80’s feel and bringing it to the modern age. In support of the release, the official music video will be released on the same day, as well as a live stream acoustic performance.

Idle Youth on the new track, “We’ve all had those epiphanic moments, both good and bad, where we frantically chart how earth we’ve got to the place we find ourselves in. Almost to the point of not recognising the person we’ve become or once were. This songs for anyone who’s reached that realisation but had the strength to go and pull themselves out of it. And if you aren’t there yet you will be.”
