Youth Sector have released their highly anticipated new EP Quarrels, listen here: https://amzn.to/3NCX7V5

Hailing from Brighton, the coastal five piece have fast become one of the South's most talked about outfits, recently completing a hype-inducing run of shows at The Great Escape and SXSW, while the last two years have seen them appear on string of tours with the likes of Goat Girl, Darwin Deez, Cheap Teeth, Our Girl, Courting and Walt Disco. The band have also seen extensive support from BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, DIY, Dork, The Line of Best Fit and more.

After releasing the gargantuan singles 'A Definitive Guide To Easy Living', 'The Ball' and 'Benign Fire In A Small Room', Friday saw the band finally release their long awaited new EP Quarrels.

Speaking about the Quarrels EP, Youth Sector say: “We recorded Quarrels in Leeds which is quickly becoming a bit of a second hometown for us; we worked with producer Matt Peel for the first time which was a delight - working with Matt taught us to rethink our approach to recording in a lot of really positive ways. Alongside our amazing friend and artist Annie Mackinnon (who did all the artwork) we settled on the medieval theme for the artwork/EP title.

It felt appropriate because the themes of the EP songs portray such a regressive, post-Brexit reflection of British life and society that at this moment in time it can feel a little like we've moved backwards to a very hostile, brutal country that's totally out of step with modern aspirations. Not to mention it was also loads of fun commissioning a painting of Nick T being literally murdered by the other band members and an assortment of medieval beasts. The songs feel stronger and more decisive stylistically and lyrically than anything we've done before and we're really proud of the material.”

Alongside the EP, the band have also dropped a suitably leftfield visualiser for new single 'Won't Stop The Wheel', a stomping anthem that completes the release. Watch below.
