Berlin’s The Underground Youth conjure black leather-clad post-punk melancholia in their new track “I Can’t Resist”‘, a macabre and crooning Ballad taken from their forthcoming ninth LP Montage Images of Lust & Fear that’s set for release on Fuzz Club next Friday.
“I Can’t Resist”, is like the bastard demon love child of The Damned’s Dave Vanian and The Birthday Party’s Rowland S. Howard, already establishing itself as one of the best songs to claw its way out of the seductive song catalog of The Underground Youth.
On the song’s themes, frontman Craig Dyer explains:
“Lyrically ‘I Can’t Resist’ has sort of a double meaning, on the surface it’s an impassioned love letter but it could also be read as a sinister list of hidden desires. The music could frame either, itself both driving and passionate.”
Listen below:
The Underground Youth will be touring extensively in support of the Montage Images of Lust & Fear, with the band already having been booked to perform in 25 different countries, including playing their first run of Asian and Australian dates this past month.
