NEW ALBUM ‘PERFECT VIEW’ RELEASED 15TH JULY ON SACRED BONES
Lust For Youth is the solo moniker of Swedish producer, Hannes Norrvide. He began the project in 2009, in Gothenburg, Sweden at Utmarken (a rehearsal space, record shop, and venue). He was inspired by friends of his who were starting a post-punk band but at the time he only had an old toy keyboard. Therefore, the earliest incarnation of the band manifested as sort of primitive drone versions of synth-pop.

‘Perfect View’ is Hannes’ third full length, and it is warmer and more inviting than ever, despite a darker turn in influences than its predecessor, last year’s ‘Growing Seeds’. That record was influenced by new beginnings after a destructive relationship, whereas ‘Perfect View’ was written from a mind obsessed with thoughts of mortality and Par Lagerkvist’s Mariamne; a fable about King Herod ordering the murder of his second wife. The album is composed of largely instrumental pieces, focusing more on beats, samples and general ambiance than previous efforts.

Tracks like “Breaking Silence” and “Barcelona” highlight this shift in direction and overall mood, while tracks such as “Another Day” and “Vibrant Brother” stay true to Norrvide’s signature form. Overall this album ventures more towards rave than no-wave and this is perhaps most evidenced by witnessing their live show where Norrvide is joined by Vår frontman Loke Rahbek.
