Young Gods
Data Mirage Tangram (2lp+cd)
Eight years without a studio album. The Young Gods may have eternity on their side, it was about time they followed up on 'Everybody Knows' and addressed the period of artistic confusion - in Treichler's own words - that followed Al Comet's departure and his replacement by Cesare Pizzi. The subsequent tour which focused on the Swiss band's first two albums, could have ended in a deadlock. Instead, it brought new inspiration to the trio, revitalised by this return to their roots. Still, thirty years of uninterrupted activity, celebrated with the publication of an 800-page book in 2017, could only strengthen the Gods' will to write a new chapter to their already impressive history. Mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Editors, Foals).
