Is Isolation Your Dream or Nightmare? Young Decades Release 'Islands'



Moving forward from COLOUR and guided the way with a helping hand from both Ian Burden, who played keys and bass with The Human League between 1981 and 1987, and Pete Maher (U2/ The Killers) - the UK’s No1 independent mastering engineer - newly emerging British rock-synth band Young Decades from Manchester, have pulled together - despite it all, with everything going on - to release their debut single ‘Islands’.‘Islands’ is out on April 24th. Since forming formally as Young Decades in 2020 the band name refers to the first two decades of the century. Having had assistance from Ian Burden, it has helped move the band in the right direction and allowed them to experiment and master the synth sounding side of things, when it comes to the release of their new debut track ‘Islands’.

The sound created by Young Decades within this track is a homage to 80s synth and modern indie/alternative rock. The track expresses a desire to isolate with a loved one, and get away as far as possible from reality. The track is incredibly fitting for the present time and the reality everybody is currently living, where some dream of isolation, but it’s a nightmare for others. However, there does seem something enticing about vanishing and running off to an empty island to live completely deserted in your own world with no external pressures.

“Oh my love, time is come, to build something from the sea. Build an island, where we can be. I need the dry land, just to be … all ours it’ll be all ours.”

On that note… #StayAtHome !
