Cheery indie pop with male/female vocals (somewhere between New Pornographers and Lake in style/sound)
Youth Rescue Mission is the music of three brothers and their big sister who all have migrated from Montana to Seattle. Bound by blood and music, their songs forge their way to the top of musical mountain tops where their voices ring out, often telling stories of the past that weave unapologetically through old wounds, past betrayal and a family caught trying to find its way. Instead of sounding like a musical therapy session, these differences between them and their family seem to only strengthen in musical form, leaving an undercurrent of relief and healing that results in beautifully touching musical moments. Hannah Williams (formerly of Friday Mile) leads brothers Daniel, Luke, and Jesse in precise harmonies (it’s obvious they all grew up singing in the church and by the firesides of Montana) and the result is a sound as unique and charming as you’d imagine.
