Young Prisms

Young Prisms play a fiercely loud and sneakily melodic brand of shoegaze that started off spiked with noise rock energy (as on their debut album, Friends for Now) then downshifted into neo-psych dreaminess for 2012's In Between. They combine the two sounds into something dark, yet spiked with hope and melody, on 2022's Drifter, an album made after the band's hiatus of nearly a decade.
