Youth Code, “In Search of Tomorrow” (Yours, With Malice / 2025)
A hard industrial smash to the face from the LA duo Youth Code. The buzzsaw percussion and electronics get brightened by near-sweet goth-y synths. The entire new EP is a blast. This cut leans a bit more WU LYF than Nine Inch Nails.
Charlie Peacock, “In the Light” (Love Life / 1991)
Stone-cold classic from Charlie Peacock here. A booming worship song from the CCM legend, giving lots of Phil Collins and some Peter Gabriel. Sounding extremely 1991, in the best way possible.
