Last Night When We Were Young is the new EP release from German indie group Jagat Skad. The quintet makes orchestral atmospheric pop with a Phantom Of The Opera dramatic flair.
The EP collects six songs that balance delicate, hypnotic vocals with twee pop arrangements. On top of the standard drums-guitar-bass trio, the group uses keys, sax, trumpet, flutes, and glockenspiel to add accents to their tracks.
The results can vary from Belle & Sebastian indie pop ("Coffin Rehearsal") to Cocteau Twins-inspired shoegazer ("Song For the Moon" with its feedback drenched intro). Often, like on the 17-minute epic "Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder", it is a combination of both...with some '70s soft rock horns thrown in for good measure.
All this makes Last Night When We Were Young a pretty good late night listen.
