Younger Then
Bad Life
(Standby Records)
4.5/5

New York indie rockers Younger Then’s second album, Bad Life, is a deeply cohesive alternative record with a great deal of experimentation. It makes for a very enjoyable listening experience.

“Sara Told Them” is one of the best songs on the album. The use of reverb truly makes the track stand out and sets an atmosphere. “Cherry Glaze” follows it and has a similar effect, which makes the change between them feel very natural. 

A very good balance between the instruments and the vocals is present throughout the album and lets the listener enjoy both. In the title track, the instrumentation serves as a build-up to make the chorus stand out; the effect at the end makes it linger in your head.

Each track on Bad Life flows into the next without getting monotonous; this makes the album very easy to recommend to anyone who enjoys alternative rock.
