MENDVILLE presentsYOUTH CODE (us)
American EBM virtuosos Youth Code— the product of multi-instrumentalists Sara Taylor and Ryan George— welcome their first proper musical output in five years: Yours, With Malice, incoming May 16 on Sumerian Records.
Yours, With Malice roars and tramples out of the gate like an armor-plated, weaponized bulldozer– pulverizing skulls into fine powder, while bubbling sub-bass, bone-snapping snare hits, sizzling hi-hats and rib-rattling kicks bounce off of the floors like spent shells. Producer Sanford Parker’s powerful production gives the effort a strong shove in the right direction– the subtle but careful ear for melody that connects all the songs, grounds them, and keeps the listener chained to the “repeat” button. Vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Sara Taylor says: “This record was very challenging to make, and once we handed it over to Sanford, he really understood what we wanted to do– it really hits you in the gut.”
KING YOSEF (us)
King Yosef, born Tayves Yosef Pelletier, first earned attention as a producer. Pelletier began releasing music as a solo artist under the King Yosef name in 2017, combining his early love for heavy music with his experiences in the hip-hop realm. A 2019 article in Revolver Magazine states: "Yosef animates the lo-fi, blown-out brood-scuzz of SoundCloud rap with the vein-popping screams of hardcore and the mechanical noise of industrial.” In the following years, Yosef sharpened his sound over the course of two EPs, several singles, and collabs with the likes of Youth Code, leading ultimately to the 2023 release of his greatest work to date: An Underlying Hum. Recorded and mixed by Converge's Kurt Ballou and Steve Evetts (Deadguy, Sepultura), An Underlying Hum is a deep dive into a broken psyche – a concept album born out of Yosef's experiences in therapy, digging deep into his childhood traumas. Yosef followed up the release of An Underlying Hum by touring the West Coast with Converge and Deaf Club, then returned to the studio to work once more with Ballou and Evetts on a handful of new tracks. With the "Cut the Cord/Shame’s Mirror" single unleashed upon the world in January 2024, Yosef immediately launched into a whirlwind of world touring with HEALTH, Greg Puciato, Trace Amount, and more
