“Young Evil” by Yes We Mystic – A Song Feature

     With all the moving parts, “Young Evil” defies conventional Indie thinking around melodic aesthetics. The percussion in particular carries an aggressive urgency, while the vocals are purposeful in communicating the song’s message, at least until the vocal sampling at the outro. Other contributions to “Young Evil” select sides, as for example the trumpet choosing the less frenetic approach early in the single from Yes We Mystic.

     “Young Evil” is densely and explosively textured, yet remains melodically pleasing. It’s time to track the tour schedule of Yes We Mystic, a five-member band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. The members are Adam Fuhr (vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, synth, trumpet), Keegan Steele (synth), Jodi Plenert (keyboard, bass, synth, cello), Jensen Fridfinnson (electric guitar, piano), and Jordon Ottenson (drums). According to the credits of “Young Evil,” collectif9 added strings.

     “Young Evil” is from the album "Ten Seated Figures" by Yes We Mystic out April 19, 2019 on DevilDuck records. Quoting the band:
  Like most things we do, production on this song is a juxtaposition of intimate and grand. For the majority of the two years that “Young Evil” spent coming to fruition, it was just Adam alone in a small, dank room – capturing ideas the moment they were conceived. Eventually, we relocated to a studio for drums, guitars, and vocals before moving to Montreal where renowned classical string group, collectif9, contributed strings in a grand hall.
  Production on “Young Evil” also includes panicked vocal loops, octavized trumpets, pitch-shifted keyboard choir, two people sitting on the floor while turning the knobs on a monophonic analogue synth, and real drums being layered one track at a time.
