Principe Valiente – Choirs of Blessed Youth (2014)

Sweden’s Post-Punk and Dreampop masters, Principe Valiente (Prince Valiant) have surpased their debut album with a phenomenal sophore work, “Choirs Of Blessed Youth”.
The album’s opener, The Son I’ll Never Be, carries you in with pastoral synths garnered with uplifting resolve from classic Post-Punk guitar riffs and basslines remiscent of the desperation of Joy Division’s Dead Souls and Atmosphere.
Take Me With You brings the band’s sound in new directions that evoke the raw passion of a lover’s plea while She Never Returned laments the unanswered call with classic Phil Spector drums.

The Dream is long and sorrowful, but the next track Wasted Time is wide awake and imbued with renewed energy-definitely a hit right there!  This trend continues with The Fighting and finally stops to breathe with the instrumental title track Choir Of Blessed Youth.
