Italian post-punk duo Kill Your Boyfriend released their new EP ‘Disco Kills‘ via Sister 9 Recordings today.
Focus track ‘Youth‘, presented in a clear 80s style, is illuminated with lights, contrasting the gloom of the rest of the EP, to depict the dreams of young people with the hope that they do not fade at dawn.
‘Youth’ follows previous singles ‘Obsession‘ and ‘Discretion‘.
“‘Disco Kills’ was created from the band’s desire to explore the hopes, obsessions, illusions, and disappointments of the many young people who frequent clubs and meeting places during the so-called “growth” years, at a point when everyone is still searching for their true selves.
The EP sees Kill Your Boyfriend experimenting with new sounds that lean towards electronic music, creating a more rarefied space for the guitars while maintaining the dark atmospheres that distinguish them. It features 6 songs drawing inspiration from past greats such as Kraftwerk, Moroder, and New Order, while also keeping an eye on artists like the Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, and Paul Kalkbrenner.
