Unreleased B-side from Caveman's self titled album

Empire

Youth Mass are a four piece indie outfit from Trim. They have previously released one EP 'Misanthropy' and one single 'Tony Don’t You Worry' to critical acclaim which received much coveted stamps of approval from influential DJ’s such as Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio), Dan Hegarty (2fm), Paul McCloone (Today FM), Cathal Funge (Phantom FM), John Barker (98FM) and found themselves playlisted with Swedish giants Gimme Indie. The band were also privileged to have their song, Tony Don't You Worry, appear on the sound track of Christian Slater's 2012 motion picture, "Playback".

After prestigious shows including supporting The Naked and Famous in the Olympia Theatre and playing last year's Electric Picnic festival, Youth Mass spent 2013 slaving away writing and recording their debut album.

With their studio work now complete and with an eagerness to share the sounds from their forthcoming debut album, 2014 began with the release of a brand new video for lead single 'Dream On' which was directed by renowned director, Bob Gallagher (see below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQDRXGbso5k), an appearance on Una Mullally's popular TG4 show "Ceol ar an Imeall", followed by shows in The Roisin Dubh, The Spirit Store and Dublin's Mercantile. The band are also excited to announce that 'In Slow Motion', one of the songs from their debut album, is to be used as the feature song in soon to be released Irish horror movie, 'The Ecstasy of Isabel Mann', by award winning director Jason Figgis and will be accompanied by a new music video.

The band will be kicking off summer 2014 by playing Whelan's main room to launch the album on April 10th, with support on the night coming from the excellent Dublin trio, Other Creatures.

Darren Mullarkey – Vocals/Guitar,

Press for Youth Mass:

‘(Tony Don’t You Worry is) Is a piece of lo fi loveliness and a gem of a track, you’ll uncover a gorgeous sonorous melody and some fabulously warpy guitar, wonderfully weird stuff’ Celina Murphy - Hotpress Magazine

“gorgeous, with earnest, beautifully written lyrics that are perfectly underscored by strong vocals and cinematic, elaborately developed guitar work and narratively styled instrumentals. I think it's safe to say we're completely sold on Youth Mass’ whatstheruckus.com

‘I’m getting a certain excited feeling in my gut, post post rock to take your breath away’ mp3hugger

‘Reminds me of the higher end indie tunes I loved when I first started going to gigs’ Harmless Noise

‘I adore the rock music Youth Mass make, with recent single 'Tony Don't You Worry', I'm kind of reminded of 'The Unforgettable Fire' era U2. Only miles better of course.’ 2uibestow Blog

'Youth Mass can make good pop songs which have dirty guitars and screaming vocals, it's when the tempo slows down however on Misanthropy that Youth Mass resemble more than just a garage punk band' - State.ie

'a clever, modern band with an incredible act for writing anthems with huge choruses that belong in arenas, all done with acute precision from a tight as hell act' ON-V Magazine

'a rough diamond... definitely ones to watch, they really will shine' - Hotpress Magazine

LYRICS

I watched in horror as the bird went up in flames, 
Couldn't beat his wings fast enough to up, and fly away. 
So feathers into dust, dreams into dust. 
Feathers into dust, dreams into dust, 
For this small one, this one of many birds. 

I closed my eyes to see, delicate wings in smoke. 
Heard the last cry of courage, heard the last sweet note, 
And feathers into dust, dreams into dust, 
Feathers into dust, dreams into dust. 

Helpful hands won't reach where they will only burn, 
These are lessons only if they are heard. 
Don't turn away, honour them by seeing them 
Don't turn away, honour them by seeing them 
Don't turn away, honour them by seeing their pain.

Feathers And Dreams

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
