I must admit, I don’t know much about Young People. I stumbled onto them via my music listings for the newspaper as they’re due to play Paradiso on February 8. It doesn’t help that their particularly lovely website is now void of updates, but I’ve searched around and it now seems they’re signed to Too Pure in UK/Europe.

‘The first Too Pure release for this year is brought to you by new signing Young People. The six track EP Five Sunsets In Four Days is available from January 30 from good record stores and of course, our very own Too Pure Shop. Young People will be playing some live dates in February and we would love to see you there. The impending album All At Once is due for release in March.’

This is what I had to say after first impressions, ‘Combining traditional American songwriting with avant-garde rock, this duo/quartet fronted by Katie Eastburn have a truly fascinating lo-fi sound that wanders all over the path. Catch them now and you’ll understand what it was like to discover the White Stripes or Cat Power while they were still fresh and interesting.’

Is it a strange thing to be quoting myself?
