User Album Review
Recording an excellent debut album is mostly a blessing, of course. But there’s some curse involved, too, in that you have to figure out how to follow it up.
The prominence of synthesizers and keyboards are the biggest difference between Young Enough and Guppy.
There are a handful of songs here that either play down or eliminate the synths, and those should please fans of Guppy who don’t like change. “Under You” is a bouncy pop-punk tune that recalls criminally underrated L.A. punk vets The Muffs. On penultimate track “Hard to Believe,” the band buried its catchiest chorus. And the guitars on “Camera” alternately jangle and sear as Hendricks delivers a classic Charly Bliss vocal melody. You can practically hear her smiling as she sings “if you think it’s bad today just wait.”
There is unquestionably a centerpiece song on Young Enough, and that’s the title track, which clocks in at just over five minutes long — an epic by this band’s standards. It’s time well-spent: slow-burning, dynamic, emotionally resonant and representative of Charly Bliss in 2019. Here, you can hear how the synthetic sounds better contextualize Hendricks’ desperate words by drawing out their meaning and feeling rather than running roughshod over them like Guppy’s rollicking arrangements. In doing so, they also open up a promising path forward for the band. That sophomore album challenge? Charly Bliss nailed it.
