Young And Heartless
The Pull Of Gravity
LP reissue of Young And Heartless' The Pull Of Gravity. Fans of Brand New, Turnover and Citizen need to check this out! Something many will pick up on is how close the vocals sound to those of everybody’s favorite vocalist Jesse Lacey. And it’s true; while not a perfect match, there’s an undeniable similarity between the two, which is, of course, a very good thing. And it fits, too, since it’s not a stretch to imagine Brand New performing songs like the downbeat “Virgin” or the dynamic “Lord-Well.” Opener “Haunted” details a ruined childhood, the narrator “ride[s] my bike down to Duncan’s to get my dad some cigarettes/he says he needs them like his coffee/and his hopelessness/but I don’t believe him anymore.” Later on he hears his father yelling at his sister and “her packing her bags/I want to go with her but/I’m only fourteen years old.” The song ends on that line, providing us with no sense of closure or resolution at all. “Lord-Well” continues this trend, referencing riding his bike, this time to Allison’s, and then going “to school/ignored my friends/I held my hand for everything/it made me feel less stupid.” So while from a lyrical standpoint, The Pull of Gravity isn’t a positive record, it’s still a great record. And while it may not be happy, it’ll certainly make you happy.
