Young Dreams are a symphonic pop ensemble from Bergen, Norway, headed up by the mighty Matias Tellez. With a lineup of musicians that starts at seven and blossoms to as many as twelve at any given performance, they’ve already captured the imaginations of dream pop lovers internationally via just a couple of limited but potent releases.

Now comes their debut album from Modular Recordings, Between Places. It's a vast, deep dive into symphonic pop, borrowing from classical composition as much as classic '60s pop as much as textural electronic experimentation. Dense, darting arrangements are utilized to convey the most plaintive, honest of emotions, and on the contrary, sparse simplistic melodies carry the weighty feelings of young love and uncertain futures.

“It's about documenting and capturing the sound of people trying the best they can,” says Tellez. “And that's maybe one of the most beautiful things in the world.”

Last December, Tame Impala's Kevin Parker told MOJO Magazine that Young Dreams were his favourite new band. They're about to be yours.

Between Places is available for purchase now from Mod Shop, iTunes, Get Music, Rough Trade and Insound.
