London duo (and couple…ooh la la) Young Romance (I can’t believe there wasn’t a new wave band or something in the 80’s that had this name!) sound at least instrumentally ripped straight from 1980’s Manchester; melodic bass, glassy sounding guitars – all the touchstones are there. Melodically, YR sound more modern with frontwoman Claire sort moving in out of a dynamic cast of voices that remind at times of La Roux and at others of maybe Lykke Li. Check out the duo’s latest offering “Break My Heart By Morning” below.
