Later Youth - Living History [Cream]

Later Youth’s debut album Living History arrives on limited cream vinyl, pressed in a run of just 300 copies, and it makes a confident first statement.

Released in 2025, the record is a first full-length introduction to a band with plenty to say about love, memory and the messy business of being human. Eleven tracks give them room to stretch out, shifting between sharp, immediate moments and slower, more reflective ones. The vinyl also includes a printed inner sleeve with lyrics and credits, so you can read along while the platter spins.

Opening with Arcane Love and Nuclear Love, the album wastes no time pairing big emotions with big melodies. Hotel Venezuela hints at a story worth leaning in for, and the late highlight On the Missing features a guest turn from Lissie, adding a fresh voice to the closing stretch.

The cream pressing adds a collectable touch, its warm, soft colour a good match for an album named after the past. Living History feels built for repeat listens, the kind of debut that rewards you the second, third and tenth time round.

Drop the needle, read the lyrics on that inner sleeve, and get in on the ground floor with a band whose first chapter is well worth hearing.
