Tune Overview: Odd Youth – I Like You

As Prime Media’s first woman group, Odd Youth have their very own path to pave. That path has been rocky to this point — no less than musically. Their output has trended towards the garish, aiming for quirky however extra typically touchdown nearer to cloying. It’s good to see a younger group experiment with sounds. Nonetheless, I’d desire if these sounds had been no less than considerably nice to the ear.

In case you benefit from the sound of a strangled hen set to a beat, have I received the monitor for you! I Like You‘s fitful association melds brittle manufacturing with discovered sounds and loads of hiccupping brass. It’s an acquired style for certain, and supplies a difficult soundscape for the women to work with. Odd Youth are sometimes compelled to resort to chirpy sing-talk, exclaiming “I such as you and you want me” over that aforementioned dying hen. That is punctuated by a uninteresting ping on the facet of a metallic pot. It’s all very cartoonish. I half anticipated Porky the Pig to look on the finish of the video bellowing “That’s all People!“.

I Like You is rhythmically fascinating, providing a herky jerky move that sounds as if a pair robots had been making an attempt to vogue what they thought-about “dance.” The sound is unquestionably not for me, however I admire its willingness to assume outdoors the field. I’m certain there can be a handful of listeners that completely eat this up. If nothing else, I’m very completely satisfied for them!
