After impressing Little Indie with their Brighton hometown show last weekend, Youth Sector do the biz on new song ‘Renting Spaces In My World’.
The art-rock quintet deliver a unique blend of frontman and guitarist Nick Tompkins' distinctive vocal melodies, over sharp guitars that take influence from Talking Heads, Devo and Preoccupations with howling ‘80s-esque synths, driving angular bass lines, and an infectious, punchy chorus (“You’re renting spaces in my world / you’re all just living in it”).
“'Renting Spaces In My World' is about someone struggling to get to grips with reality”, the band reveal. “The lyrics tell the story of someone who, in their own grandiose delusion believes they own the whole world and all other people are like paying customers, renting the opportunity to exist within it."
Catch Youth Sector live on June 26 at London's Old Blue Last, and at Brighton's Hidden Herd festival on July 13 at Patterns.
