Synopsis

Product Description

Following closely in the verve of pop-tunesmiths of yesteryear, California-based 5 piece The Young Veins arrive with their debut, Take A Vacation!, on June 8th (One Haven Music), produced by Alex Greenwald (Phantom Planet) and Rob Mathes (Panic! At The Disco, Carly Simon, Lou Reed).
Ryan Ross has spent the better part of his late teens as the chief songwriter, guitarist and vocals for the wildly popular Las Vegas band, Panic! at the Disco. Throughout the band s two albums, Ryan exhibited a writing progression that began to fall increasingly outside the lines of the band s context. While Panic! were on their last world tour for Pretty. Odd, it became clear that Ross s and bandmate/co-writer Jon Walker s newest compositions needed a more fitting home. Ross and Walker picked up and moved west to California, forming their new quarters under the moniker - The Young Veins.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ryan Ross and Jon Walker continue their musical evolution in this energetic, boppy, classy release. Because of their Panic at the Disco past, "Take a Vacation!" won't be able to escape comparison with "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" and "Pretty. Odd.", but the clean, 1960s sound certainly doesn't invite such comparisons. The Young Veins bring back an old model: hot-potato frontmen, deceptively simplistic melodies, and consistency across the entire album. It would be easy to dismiss "Take a Vacation!" as a clever imitation of their inspirations, but followers of Ross and Walker will recognize the unmistakable personal touches they have come to love. Those deceptively simple melodies are offset by the same sort of deeply beautiful lyrics as "Pretty. Odd." The vocals are obviously diverse--no single singer here. But the overall effect of the album is shockingly cohesive, which makes choosing a favorite an exercise in detail-oriented listening.

"Take a Vacation!" may be the first (of hopefully many) from The Young Veins, but these musicians brought many years of combined experience to the album, and it shows. I can't wait to see where the road takes them. Until then, I'll settle for listening to "Take a Vacation!" on repeat."
