One of my favourite new bands out of Vancouver in the last few years is Youngblood, and I've been eagerly waiting for more new music from them, since their '016 EP Feel Alright.

Luckily the wait is over with "Better When Your Close", a sexy song with a creepy video (I feel like 'sexy with a hint of sinister' is very "on-brand" for the band). The song is the first single from the upcoming EP Fantasy Love, due out in July, and is "about romantic obsession to the point of possession- where you feel like your entire body and mind have been involuntarily taken over by the mere proximity of another person and you've lost your sense of self," according to singer Alexis Young. "It's about coming to terms with the realities of putting love and lust on a pedestal, and just how quickly a person can become consumed by infatuation of the highest degree. Crippling, consuming, and it also has a sweet bass line that you can dance to, because why not.”
