Hailing from Oxford, Youthmovies are a convergence of music styles, often within the same track. They make what could be considered ‘prog-pop’, an adventurous blend of the intense time signatures of bands like Cap ’n Jazz, backed with epic orchestrations whilst doing those Radiohead and Battles genre flips.
They are regularly involved in one-off live film soundtrack and art events, have been Saul Williams's backing band (at the Carling festival) and thus far have various releases, most notably the mini album (Hurrah! Another year, surely this one will be better than the last, the inexorable march of progress will lead us all to happiness) on Fierce Panda records.
Good Nature is the sound of five hungry souls realising all their potential in a blinding flourish of compositional extravagance and exemplary musicianship.
