Young and Heartless – The Pull Of Gravity (Color)

The Young And Heartless The Pull Of Gravity (Color) vinyl is an LP from Mayfly Records featuring members of Owen, The Geese, and Joan of Arc. Those bands cover a significant range of post-rock, indie, and emo-adjacent music, and the combination produces something with genuine depth of influence behind it.

The Members and What They Bring

Owen is Mike Kinsella’s solo project, and anyone familiar with his work in American Football and Cap’n Jazz understands the weight that name carries in indie and emo circles. The Geese and Joan of Arc operate in adjacent territory: literate, guitar-driven music with more concern for emotional honesty than commercial appeal. Bringing these lineages into Young And Heartless produces a band that comes to the material with accumulated craft. Mayfly Records is the right label for this combination of backgrounds and approaches.

What The Pull Of Gravity Sounds Like

Gravity is a useful metaphor for a record that draws on members of bands known for emotional weight. Things pull toward the earth, toward sadness, toward inevitability. The Pull Of Gravity as a title suggests music that deals with forces beyond easy resistance. The LP format gives the band room to develop those ideas across two sides, and the color pressing signals this was the run they cared about getting right. Mayfly’s catalog has a consistent quality level, and this release belongs in it.

A note in the pressing details indicates the next pressing will be on blue vinyl, which means the current color pressing is the first run and the one to have before blue becomes the only option. Members-of records from bands in the Owen and Joan of Arc lineage on small labels are exactly what ends up in want lists. This is the first pressing, in color, and it will not wait for you to decide later. Mayfly Records and the Owen lineage guarantee a certain level of craft, and this color LP from Young And Heartless delivers on both counts.
