Young Galaxy - Shapeshifting (2011) ~*produced by Studio's D. Lissvik*~

Falsework was my fave of the Lissvik albums.

cosign sean here on the live show, great stuff. mirrored led synth triggered obelisks and gusgus dancing. best $12 i've spent in a long time.

Bought tickets to see them tonight....

Had tickets to see them Wednesday night but was too tired from work to go. I feel bad.

They were really good in Toronto tonight, despite Catherine suffering from a chest cold that prompted her to stop the set and ask the crowd if they thought she sounded OK enough for the show to be worthwhile - then gritted through another 10 or so songs like a trooper.

Fuck the loud, beer-clinking bros behind me, though. An unexpected nuisance, doubly annoying because the band was relatively quiet.

he is in part

Oh, yay! I was worried they might have called it quits. Sounds like they came close (then changed tack entirely)

The first sample of the record arrives with lead single "Under My Wing," which Young Galaxy describe as being "about the failure of capitalism, the isolation of suburbia, and the drive to discover sensuality, connection, and a spark of life in the face of despair."

All my faves have become radicalized over time and it rules

We want to say what we want to say when and how we want to say it.

We own all Young Galaxy representations from this point onward, we are the generative source
of all its emissions.

There will be no spin, packaging or look we didn’t choose, determined by someone else’s worship of the almighty dollar/social media algorithm. We worship that deep consensus that comes with getting lost in music. We want to speak music as fluently as we’re able – by tuning in, listening, sharing coordinates, mapping the unfixed and unhinged places we all find ourselves at times. We wade in, fall apart, fail and hold up – articulate as a search for the right words for others trying to hold up, live and love.

We found ourselves at a crossroads after our last album Falsework. We felt represented inaccurately through agents, labels, and other specialists in their fields because we had
deferred to their experience and therefore their values; we just focused on the music. But we
have been packaged wrong: It’s not accurate. We’re not nice. We are fucking kind.

The truth is, we feel less and less interested in being represented by the music industry in its
current state. The routes of communication that we are expected to pump content into feel like
someone else’s, and like its values, are commercial and superficial with no subtlety in its
preferred approach. Just sledgehammer.

For us, art communicates best in nuance, vulnerability, and fluid interpretations. It can speak to
and be made by outsiders, and can access counterculture in a way the industry machine cannot. So after more than 10 years in the music business, we ended many partnerships.

As a female fronted act, popular culture has told us that we should be youthful, hip, and seductive. We felt anomalous in an industry that seemed intent on promoting The Rich, The New, The Wild. That’s NOT US. We own our age, our feminism, our human animal appetites, our role as parents, our grey hairs, rages and introspection. We call out from our autonomous, moving point in the dark because making music is a dialogue for Young Galaxy. We’re trying to reach others, we need to know where they are.

But it’s pitch dark out here and experiencing it can make you hang in pieces, be as grizzled as we are, make you wake in desire, make you rage with pain or loneliness, so we have to call out in all the ways we have and can’t let someone else do it for us.

We’ve now created and run multiple imprints to sustain our art, including our upcoming April 2018 self release of Down Time. Now, we collaborate on and co-produce all our music, artwork, photos, videos, merchandise, social media - the content and the cost of all we create is exclusively ours to bear. It is a site, an ever widening map of collective imaginings, dialogue and collaboration.

So we’re calling out. We would like your support to be heard and we need your coordinates to
Navigate.

new record is pretty subdued but is rewarding repeated listens. there's less lissvik, i think, but no drop in quality.

seeing them tonight, psyched b/c their last tour was bananas and fantastic

Proud 2 have our friends at @gorillavsbear premiere our video for Future, made by our brilliant friend Adam Sajkowski at Hotel Sport. This is our final dispatch for the foreseeable future, as we are announcing YG’s hiatus. What a great way to go out 💙💜 https://t.co/vJf8yeaZLG

I slept on their (self-released?) album from last year but "Frontier" has really snuck up on me as an expansive chill jam.

Important thread from a big gentle hearted, beautiful talent. When Matt joined YG we became a band for the first time. ❤️ https://t.co/K1FuzLHd4e
