Ryan Jantz’s “Younger” is raw and lo-fi and a bit ramshackle but it suits the effusive spirit of the song and the sense of mild confusion. That there are a couple of major changes in tone and pace in a song less than a minute and a half long is interesting on its own. The song shifts twice in mood from one of a kind of Beat Happening-esque inspired amateurism to a Siltbreeze-period Times New Viking frantic, fractured melody. Which is to say it might be off-putting to someone looking for their bedroom pop to sound safer and more conventional but anyone with a taste for the indie pop noise punks from around the turn of the last decade will find this a pleasant surprise at a time when a lot of bands are trying to sound pro, imitating a popular production style rather than aiming to sound utterly like themselves.
