Young And Sexy @ NXNE 2008

BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Young And Sexy aren't that young anymore and "sexy" is a matter of personal taste. At least if they're playing together when they're truly aged, the name will be ironic. Young And Sexy have spent their last several years and albums refining a hip, intelligent and artistic adult-pop. Grade...

Young And Sexy — The Arc

in
By Jared Morano (CHARTattack) May 13, 2008 10:51 am
Young And Sexy present an inoffensive but aimless meander into unadventurous melodies and swirly guitars on their latest. Maybe if they wrote better songs (or if they just learned how to record drums properly) they wouldn't sound so much like a budget Pink Floyd. As it is, Y&S get too tangled up in reaching for that unreachable perfect...

Young And Sexy — Panic When You Find It

in
By David McDougall (CHARTattack) February 14, 2006 11:49 am
One of the best boy/girl indie-pop outfits this side of Stars, Young And Sexy return with their third LP, and despite the title there's no need to panic. The Vancouverites continue to perfect their sound, creating careful studio equations that consistently add up. "Curious Organ" bursts with horns and handclaps, while "Lullaby" skips along on a...

Young And Sexy — Life Through One Speaker

in
By Lauren Ferranti (CHARTattack) October 7, 2003 9:51 am
There are many voices speaking on this sophomore release from these Vancouver-based pop crooners: buttery female vocals alternate and harmonize with melancholy male ones, while piano and organ communicate in their own foreign and mysterious tongues. The result is a storybook of a record — easily one of the most charming stories I’ve heard in...

Man, Young And Sexy were criminally underappreciated, even if they're a little boring. There are a couple songs on here where Lucy Brain sounds really good.

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 11, 2008 4:00 pm
Vancouver's Young And Sexy are trying to figure out why some bands make it big and others don't. Why do Coldplay get to tour the world, but Young And Sexy still have to work day jobs just to pay the rent? "I don't know what we should do differently... or what we could be doing," says guitarist/vocalist Paul Hixon Pittman. "It...

Young And Sexy Return For Christmas While Working On New Album

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) December 14, 2007 6:30 pm
The last time we heard from Vancouver's Young And Sexy, they were touring their excellent Panic When You Find It album and continuing to remind the rest of Canada that the west coast has more than one sublime indie pop band with hooks to kill and a somewhat racy name. That was deep in 2006, but Y&S are finally re-emerging, buoyed largely...
