LUST FOR YOUTH share new single "New Balance Point"Self-titled LP set for release June 7th via Sacred BonesOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Stereo Sanctity LUST FOR YOUTH Photo credit: Halfdan Venlov Lust For Youth– the Scandinavian duo of Hannes Norrvide and Malthe Fischer– shares their third single, “New Balance Point,” from their forthcoming self-titled album (out June 7th on Sacred Bones). “New Balance Point” follows previously released singles “By No Means” and “Great Concerns.” The songs are sure-footed where they had earlier feared to tread, and light-headed for a new set of reasons. The album is driven by a dance-pop agenda, hustling its way through upbeat peaks that level out into reflective ballads. While still taking clear cues from a crop of austere synth-pop, Lust for Youth sound brighter than they ever have before, taking tips from some of the flirtiest Eurobeat to aid their new direction. Listen to "New Balance Point" here: https:// On their previous album, Compassion, Lust for Youth examined euphoria and contemporary life with a wry wit. Where facetiousness masqueraded as commitment, compliments and fawning clearly yearned for a true connection. Lust for Youth sees Hannes Norrvide and Malthe Fischer taking some familiar strides, though to another place. The disaffected balearia is this time rendered into brighter pop compositions that bustle with intricate production. No longer galvanizing us with hooks, but with a songcraft unhindered by anxiety, the album presents a cohesion not seen in the project until now. Lyrically, the apprehension still hangs like tinsel. Often garish and celebratory, the droll mischief is this time more pointed, more personal, and far more self-aware. A thread of reflections upon the state of the world is artfully wound throughout the album, casting a quiet force upon the detachment of Norrvide's vocals. Lust for Youth have been one of love's most honest confrères, detailing the pangs of what is all too often a sullen process. On this occasion, they look up. The pull of the world is different for us all, but it pulls us all. Tour dates: Lust For Youth track list:
