Czech Post-Punk Artist Empty Young Spirals into Melancholic Darkness With New Single “Envious”

Ah, the exquisite agony of growing up in a place where your thoughts land with a thud and your dreams are met with blank stares. It’s like dancing in a room full of statues, each one colder than the last. You find yourself a stranger among the familiar, watching as they prattle on about the small, the simple, the safe. Meanwhile, your heart strains against the leash, longing for something grander, something that doesn’t shrink to fit. You learn quickly that loneliness isn’t a lack of company; it’s being surrounded by those who look at you but never quite see you.

Czechia’s own Empty Young just dropped a new single that digs deep into the grit and grind of feeling like a stranger in a strange land. Envious is a track soaked in frustration and the fatigue of living among people who don’t quite get your beat. The sound strikes somewhere between the raw edge of Killing Joke, the cool menace of a toned-down Lords of the New Church, and the frantic pulse of early New Order—all while spiraling into a whirl of melancholic darkness.

The loneliness of isolation seeps through every note, anchored by a killer bassline and guitars that twist around each other like an ouroboros. There’s a vibe of unease; a sense that something’s about to snap.
