Watch: Reptile Youth – “JJ” [Premiere]
An exciting new offering from Danish duo Reptile Youth – “JJ” is an impeccably infectious debut. The single’s accompanying video premieres today on Best Fit.
Bouncy rhythms and swirling, My Bloody Valentine-indebted guitars spin over five minutes of hypnotic shoepop, paired with stunning black and white videography. “Testing out your immortality”, vocalist Mads Damsgaard Kristiansen shoots from the back of his throat as we peer in on him and co-member Esben Valløe suitably sacrificing themselves to icy seas. As joyful basslines pop and guitars crunch, we are constantly awaiting their next move, if only to get swallowed by the track’s attractive, patterned melodies.
“JJ” is released on 10 February, followed by the band’s new album Rivers That Run For A Sea That Is Gone on 10 March. They play the Shacklewell Arms, London on 4 April.
