'Youth Culture Forever' is the second album from Paws, which saw the band decamp to a studio in the woods just outside New York to hone and expand on the sound that saw their debut 'Cokefloat!' acclaimed by the likes of Pitchfork, BBC music, and nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year Awards. First single 'Tongues' combines the elements of 'Cokefloat!' that made it such a thrilling debut; an expert use of dynamics, an anthemic chorus and painfully honest lyrics, while incorporating an increased use of texture and expanded instrumentation. Piano and Glockenspiel appear at points, adding richness and atmosphere, while hinting at the fuller production values that are found throughout the album. Recording at Adam Pierce's (Mice Parade/ Swirlies) studio in the woods outside of New York City, Paws produced the album themselves in an attempt to strive for the sound that they had always imagined for the band. As Phillip Taylor from the band says "It feels like everybody considers our debut LP to be 'lo-fi', which really bothered us as we felt it was the complete opposite by comparison to our early releases." He states that he wanted 'Youth Culture Forever' to be "bigger and louder, softer and quieter" and to "present the potential of our dynamic range more accurately than the first album".LP - limited version on green vinyl with Download.
