The Seattle pop rock outfit is pleased to announce their first single Dead Animals and upcoming EP entitled Foreign Spells recorded in Seattle with producer Shane Stoneback (Cults, Vampire Weekend, Magic Kids, and Sleigh Bells). Teaming up with Stoneback on this EP, The Young Evils discovered an evolved and potent new sound with this collection of songs. The alluring boy-girl harmonies remain but have taken a darker turn down pop's corridor, combining 60s doo-wop melodies with a bombastic rhythm section and noisy guitars. Gone are the cheery acoustic strummings of Foreign Spells' predecessor, 2010's acclaimed debut Enchanted Chapel. Songwriter Nelson and the band instead opted to focus on creating a sinister pop framework to underscore the talents of Nelson's better half, starlet Mackenzie Mercer. If the infectious pop The Young Evils conjure has strayed from its sunnier former-self, so too have their lyrics, revealing the band s propensity for the dreary and dark. Dead Animals is what we ll become Mercer and Nelson proclaim in the four-track EP s first single Dead Animals. The song perfectly exemplifies the band s duality, charming but realistic and gloomy all at once. Foreign Spells is a document of The Young Evils brash honesty and virulent rhythms and harmonies. The band will be embarking on a West Coast tour this summer and playing Bumbershoot in September\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56440297980278,"sku":"0700261202761","price":4.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_9262695_1437574_jpg.jpg?v=1760379242","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0700261202761-foreign-spells","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
