With haunting and ethereal songs that masterfully delve into the depths of ferocious love, heartbreaking loss and steadfast hope, the debut album, Us, by new duo BOWEN * YOUNG unveils a unique style of music the couple has dubbed ‘Cinematic Americana’. A multi-sensory feast, the music invokes themes painted by the duo’s powerfully authentic lyrics and hypnotic harmonies. “We wanted to make music that conjures a visceral response from people” says Clare. “To invoke imagination.” Brandon adds. “It has its roots in country music, folk music and the more up-tempo moments lend themselves to rock ‘n roll. We wanted sweeping emotion, the rise and fall of tiny intimate moments, alongside bombastic sound. We set out with that as our north star”.
