“a David Lynch soundtrack for a film even he might be a little scared of” Album Review: The Young Playthings - Who Invented Love?

Coming attractions: The Young Playthings

Normally, bands with members travelling under comedy names make us narrow our eyes, but The Young Playthings can be forgiven including a Jørs Truly amongst their ranks, if only because they'll get their payback when people start asking him "so, after you were in the band with Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee and Gary Tibbs, what happened then?"

Also, their debut poppy-playful album Who Invented Love? is rather good. The step from bedroom recordings to studio has allowed them to expand their range to muck about having a go at doo-wop and to move ever closer to making a David Lynch soundtrack for a film even he might be a little scared of.

Your time spent investigating might be rewarded.
