Still blown away by their energy.ĭuh Cripe: Nick Cave (the artist). Killian Brom: I’ve been liking stuff from Rvdxr Klvn, Avicii, Chelsea Wolfe, FF.ĭuh Cripe: I still cant get over how great Bruxa are.
Shoegazy shit and electronic shit.ĭuh Cripe: All of the hypocrites around me.ĭMNW: Outside of the music produce, what other genres or artists are you enjoying right now? Anyone we might not know and should be aware of? Killian Brom: Cocteau Twins, Holy Other, Clams Casino, Enya, Mater Suspiria Vision, I dunno. Also been using a Waldorf Q to get some clean sounds. Recently, I’ve been playing with Maschine and trying to see how I can manipulate the software. Pitching things that aren’t supposed to be melodies into melodies creates cool unexpected results. Killian Brom: I warp the shit out of samples I either record or find on my computer. Killian Brom: If that’s what people take out of it, that’s cool with me.ĭuh Cripe: Someone called it “choose your own adventure” music and I’d agree, just let it take you where you want to go.ĭMNW: When producing, what are some specific techniques you use to craft the rich and mysterious sounds found throughout your music? Youryoungbody (Duh Cripe and Killian Brom)ĭMNW: Some might describe your music as ‘dark.’ How would you describe your sound? I’d write little poems that always seemed to be dark and observant. I got better at it, but the way I work is still pretty similar.ĭuh Cripe: I think I have always been a writer, even as a kid. I didn’t have any other instruments, so I recorded me banging things together and my voice and pitching them up and down in Acid music studio.

Killian Brom: I played drums for years, eventually I bought an old PC and a shitty microphone around 6th grade. I feel like it follows me around, it’s pretty gross.ĭMNW: How did each of you begin making music? Do you have a long history in music production? Played any instruments growing up? If so, has any of it influenced or play part directly in what you do today? For the last few years, no matter where I have lived, I have gotten a massive black mold infestation in my mattress. Killian Brom: Kurokabi means black mold in Japanese. It wasn’t expected, but we met up and started talking and we both clicked well and a month later we were knee deep in recording.ĭMNW: Can you talk about the meaning behind naming your Kurokabi album? Killian Brom: We had a few mutual friends, I got pretty drunk and asked her to sing.ĭuh Cripe: Killian got in contact with me through the Internet. Over the corse of this interview I got to know the band a little better and got to ask a question concerning the theme behind their latest album, “Kurokabi.”ĭMNW: How did you two start working with each other? Youryoungbody feel like a band ready to take over the entire world with their crushing dance music, even though they only have a Demo EP ( Mask (Demo)), a few single tracks, and a fantastic album, “ Kurokabi.” The power this bands wields over audiences and their instruments makes it obvious that the some great music is coming to the Seattle area.

The sounds they produce feel full of emotion and I can say, when seeing them in a live setting, the group hit a emotional resonance with a lot of the audience members as they watched this band not just play, but throw their sick music on the floor. Their well crafted production puts them in the same league with greats like Clarie Brouche (AKA Grimes) and swedish electro-pop artist Fever Ray. Youryoungbody will have your heart beating in time with their life giving music. Youryoungbody takes that sense of inviting woodland fantasy world and completely bends it into something that could take over an entire warehouse dance floor.
A small portion of the music produced in the Northwest captures the surreal, mystic, qualities of living in our rainy forest.
