The Underground Youth Share Video for ‘Heart on a Chain’

In addition to sharing the video for ‘Heart on a Chain’ from their forthcoming album Sadovaya, out July 1 on Fuzz Club, Manchester’s The Underground Youth have also announced they will be playing Paris Psych Fest in July, dates TBA.

Sadovaya is the four-piece’s fourth release and it was written entirely in St. Petersburg, Russia when Craig Dyer and Olya Dyer were living there. Craig drew inspiration from Russian novelists, Soviet era post-punk bands and Russian cinema. The album takes its title from the street the couple lived on.

“The sound of the album has a raw quality that I was never able to recreate. There’s a genuine naivety to the recordings that makes it my most visceral, personal record,” Craig said in a statement.

Craig formed the Underground Youth in 2009 and Fuzz Club started releasing the and’s music in 2011. Initially it was just Craig and Olya but they soon expanded to a four-piece and gained recognition around the world. They have toured the UK and Europe. Their single saw airplay from Gideon Coe on BBC6. They also jaunted to Austin, Texas to play Reverb Conspiracy Volume One, and event put on by Fuzz Club and Austin Psych Fest.
