YOUNG LIARS – Homesick Future


Hello, bright indie electropop! These beats are fast and I can see a crowd dancing to this – but will they remember it the next day? I can’t be sure, but speaking for myself, I forgot what some of the songs on here sounded like five minutes after listening to them. There are some catchy hooks and interesting blibbery sounding things done with synths on the instrumental “Green Green Light,” but the ecstatic cheering and singing on “Newton, Forgive Me” is vaguely irritating (to be fair, this was after the sixth time listening to it, looped). “Colours” begins sounding like a video game sequence, and picks up with strong piano and energetic drums.  So Homesick Future is enjoyable, definitely, if your priorities are “fun,” “fast,” and “bouncy.”  As for lyrical content? I can’t be bothered to Google the lyrics to figure out what they’re saying.  I’m sure they’re cute and kind of deep and original and reference Isaac Newton more than once.
