YOUNG GALAXY

I first was introduced to Young Galaxy in one of the dark alleys of the internet.  I'd rather not tell you where I discovered the animated video for Peripheral Visionaries, one the best songs off their new album Shapeshifting, but between you and me, entensity isn't exactly the place I would assume to find a great new band.  Surviving in the post-apocalyptic chillwave sound spectrum, Young Galaxy creates a dreamily uplifting vibe that is refreshingly fun to kick back and enjoy.  This combined with lead vocalist Catherine McCandless' memorable voice, provides the group with the flavor and edge that separates them from many indie groups.  Reigning from Vancouver, Canada which is probably a winter wonderland these days, Young Galaxy is finishing up the year in Ottawa at the Ritual Nightclub (tonight) and Waterloo at ONStarlight Social Club (Sunday 12/4/11).  Sorry everyone from everywhere else in world, it looks like Canadian Christmas came early. On to some videos, the first video I talked about is below:



That was part 2 of Bone Tongue's adventure, here's part one titled "We Have Everything"

Ethereal, reflective moods is their specialty!  Here is one of my personal favorites off of Shapeshifting:

If your not impressed with their versatility yet, "Phantoms" will help. After listening for Young Galaxy for a couple of months now, they've earned a special place in my go to playlist for everyday jammin'.  Hopefully they'll make it to the Los Angeles area soon.  Good luck on finals! -gonz
