Carnival Youth – ‘Love is the Answer’

Posted on the 24 March 2018 by Spectralnights

Spectral Nights favourites Carnival Youth have unveiled new single ‘Love is the Answer’. Following the albums ‘No Clouds Allowed’ and ‘Propeller’, it finds the Latvian indie-pop trio in scintillating form and has a bombastic tone throughout. Sounding somewhat akin to the love child of Grandaddy and Future Islands, it seems tailor-made for festivals and like all good unlucky-in-love songs, it has an irresitibly wistful tone in is addictive chorus: ‘You said what you meant. It sounded so bold. Love is the answer, it’s time to let go. Our footprints are fading into snow’. There’s also some much-welcome brass thrown into the mix.
