Young Wonder's new EP Show Your Teeth is very promising

Young Wonder is an Irish based electronica band and a touch different from other electronica bands with a similar vibe like Chvrches.  They have hard hitting deep bass grooves reminding me of deep house bands but their music tends to be way more abstract.   This isn't for everyone, but if you like electronica and a band that's fresh and willing to take some chances on some songs, well Show Your Teeth is worth picking up.  And don't worry, folks, there is some pop sensibility deep within the songs and lyrics here.   It might just a be bit deeper than bands like Chvrches, that have that pop right at the surface.

"Time (feat. Sacred Animals)" is the bands second single from Show Your Teeth and most definitely their most accessible song believe it or not.  The vocals are more clear lending itself to access for a wider audience.  Although, it's still fall from pop.  The bass on this song really is pretty damn awesome.  If you have a good speaker setup, prepare for some rumble.


"To You" was the first song I heard from Show Your Teeth and I knew I had to pick up this album.    I love the layers and samples in this song.  This is really the shinning moment from this EP and gives me huge hope for future music from Young Wonder.  I love the funky bagpipes sampled in front of the electronica.  The video for this song is also really clever. Who doesn't like a Viking funeral for a pet?
