Video: Years & Years – ‘Eyes Shut’ (Live)
by Tom Roden
Years & Years are on the form of their life, and in their recently recorded Vevo stripped session they show just why. It turns out when you peel back the layers of produced synths and rhythms, you’re left with a fragile heart of pure melody. This live rendition of ‘Eyes Shut’ demonstrates the amazing piano skills of Olly, as well as how much passionate emotion lies in his vocals. It’s a beautifully touching performance, due in no small part to […]

Years & Years – ‘Worship’ Review: High Praises & High Hopes
by Tom Roden

Video: Years & Years – ‘Take Shelter’
by Tom Roden
Years & Years’ ‘Take Shelter’ is one of those celebratory electro-pop tracks that makes you feel inexplicably happy to be alive, even if the lyrics are not necessarily the most celebratory. It’s built of layers of catchy rhythms that slink along ceaselessly under a soulful vocal that emotively spreads through the mix. The video itself is largely set in the woods and we’re almost certain that it stars Emily Browning (Babydoll from Sucker Punch), but we’re not 100%. The video […]
