The Thousands

It won’t be long before radio stations suck the disco-blood from the neck of Swedish singer-songwriter Jenny Wilson and her album LOVE AND YOUTH is lost among a graveyard of hack remixes. If it hasn’t happened already, you should enjoy it while you can.

‘Let My Shoes Lead Me Forward’, despite the occasional shudder-inducing Scissor Sisters similarity, is like a squirt of serotonin to a raved-out mind, while the subtler ‘Summer Time’ – ‘The **Roughest Time’ couldn’t be more poignant as sunshine burns people’s shoulders and relationships seem to burn people’s hearts.

Inevitabilities aside, LOVE AND YOUTH contains the medicinal properties found in both recreational drugs and anti-biotics, and can not only inspire debauchery, but can also induce the numbness needed to recover from it. Added to this, unlike Xanax, there is no prescription needed.
