Acid Youth - Darkness Is Not Easy BUY LINK: https://acidyouthmusic.bandcamp.com/album/darkness-is-not-easy Label: MFZ Records (https://soundcloud.com/mfzrecs) https://www.instagram.com/mfzrecords/ > Acid Youth (https://soundcloud.com/acid-youth) https://www.instagram.com/acid_youth_music/ Available in digital + cassette format and on major streaming Platforms. Almost a decade after its first release, Acid Youth returns on MFZ Records with the album "Darkness Is Not Easy". This new work is the result of years of research and refinement in defining an aesthetic that merges the acid imagery with the song form and melody. Alongside the usual suspects (808, 303, analog and digital synthesizers), new acoustic and electric elements (drums, guitar, bass) are introduced. The result of this mix is a personal reinterpretation of the sounds from the '90s alternative music scene. The rhythmic precision of the synthetic elements guides melodic structures characterized by human imperfections. Fuzz guitars go with the acid lines of the 303, while drums mix up with the analog percussions of the 808. The album’s tracks blend techno atmospheres, shoegaze moods, acid psychedelia and drone expansions. "Darkness Is Not Easy" is a musical journey accessible to anyone who doesn’t particularly care about strict boundaries between musical genres; a path to be taken without preconceived notions or bias of any kind.
