Premiere: Young Unknowns Share New Single, ‘I Want To Lose’

For those unacquainted: Young Unknowns are a Brooklyn outfit making the kind of brittle pop tracks that could fall into shattered pieces at any point.

A Neu Bulletin from September 2012 picked out their ‘Far Enough’ track as a special one, with ‘melancholy lining the seams’ and all that.

They’ve continued along the same course with new single ‘I Want To Lose’; intimacy’s there from the get-go, Meredith Meyer’s vocals sinking into the surface with hushed pronunciations.

The song’s premiering on DIY alongside a very nifty device calling itself ‘Wallcloud’. It plays the song alongside some curated images and poetry courtesy of Matthew Price.

Watch and listen to Young Unknowns’ ‘I Want To Lose’ below.
