    Coming off the heels off a mounting barrage of thick post-punk releases in previous years, Voight-Kampff pushes out another assault of aggressive and atmospheric post-punk with their new LP “The Din of Dying Youth”. Immediately dropping into the fray like a paratrooper on the first track, the album’s rhythmic chiming and bolting drums push their way through the melodic chorus-drenched guitar like a jackhammer pushing through a stream of water, cooling it down from overheating, in a sky-scraping industrial park factory where no sunlight reaches. The vocals reach over the tracks like the foreman of the factory speaking through the PA system to his human-replaced assembly line machines while simultaneously gripping the self-destruct button to detonate the entire site. Through the screeches and tears, faint optimistic veils drift in and out, spiraling around the tracks like a miasma. Clocking in at just over 20 minutes, "The Din of Dying Youth" delivers a solid line without fluff or filling, striking both sides of the alternative melancholy buzz, from Creation Records to the steel grinding steel noise of Touch & Go. As the tracks go on feel the momentum as you’re shot and traveling miles per minute through overhead cable lines from the muddy waters of the Mississippi River into the cold Northeastern waters of the Quabbin Reservoir. – Josh Jenkins

    A perfect blend of sonic sounds and industrial era programming, resulting in nothing less than dark-wave purity. A referral for steady listeners of Joy Division, Merchandise, and Iceage.

lyrics

I saw my life in memories like it was real
mom singing softly as I slept
protective promise never kept
I could not foresee a future that I could not believe
it left me fragile in ways that you could not conceive
I grew to hate, driven to violence
I grew to know that those who speak to you of "trust" don't know the word
betrayed in ways that left me leery of authority
it was only up to me

For those who claimed to "teach"
conveniently just out of reach
it was only up to me

So I have faltered, to be sure
I've strayed away from all that's pure
but I have learned that no one will be there to break your fall
you have yourself and that is all

I wouldn't ask for your forgiveness
I'm only asking to be heard
my story's there in every word
nowhere to turn, I learned
its only me, and never free
it is my story

Own up to all I've ever done under the sun
you'll find its not always been fun

And the gulf between me and the man you want to see is vast
I've left the worst parts in the past

I only ever wanted to be free
like as a boy when mother sang to me
but I've found it isn't meant to be

I've had my lovers, man and woman
some are dead and some are ruined
I was just searching for the key
unlocking someone's love for me
