Track By Tracks: SVNTH - Pink Noise Youth (2025)

About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)

If the previous record Spring in Blue was about facing life’s struggles on a childhood perspective, the upcoming Pink Noise Youth will be based on exploring awareness as an adult in late youth, trying to give a voice to a generation of emotionally unstable and chaotic as pink noise. it will be the second part of the band’s own “trilogy of colors”.

Musically speaking expect something intended to stay outside of genres and labels where elements of hardcore, metal, shoegaze, post-rock, and unconventional instrumentation such as electric Indian sitar are blended together in the same pot.

Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

1. Inhale:

The album intro brings up a dreamy atmosphere as the beginning of the journey, it shows a varied musical instrumentation that includes classical guitar, Indian sitar, percussions, and ambient layers

2. Cinnamon Moon:

As the first single off Pink Noise Youth, the new anticipated album from Italian band SVNTH, Cinnamon Moon unveils some of the most interesting features offered on the album in terms of sound and mood. With its captivating mix of black gaze and post-hardcore, the song is an open letter soaked in fragility and emotional exposure, delivered to a loved one as a memorial of the hampered paths walked together on the road of late youth. Cinnamon Moon takes shape among Slowdive-esque ethereal delayed layers, heavy sections with black metal screams, passionate clean singing, a unique use of electric Indian sitar, and melodramatic post-rock melodies, that aim to build together a unique cathartic sound blend.

3. Perfume:

The track is carried by catchy and emotional guitar melodies with captivating singing, classic song structure, and lyrics about nostalgia and moments that will never come back. Reminding bands like Alcest, Nothin,g, and Smashing Pumpkins, it mixes elements of alternative rock and post-metal.

4. Elephant:

One of the most dynamic tracks on the album, mixing heartbreaking guitar melodies with rock-oriented explosions and a pure post-rock outro, all accompanied by an alternation of screaming and melodic singing. Lyrics are about remembering intensively cheerful memories that symbolize the end of a turbulent and suffering path of life and consequently a new beginning.

5. Narrow, Narrow:

With a dreamy Deftones-like intro soaked in delay and reverb, the song evolves immediately into a hardcore-oriented explosion with black metal screams alternated with emotional shoegaze-y sections. As much as the song “Wings of the Ark” from the previous album “Spring in Blue” was based on the experience of a loss during childhood, this song does the same but in the late youth phase of life. The final refrain “We will never come back again, but we’ll always be here” is intended to be considered a sort of anthem that reflects on the shortness of our life as humans compared to the eternity of our memory that remained in the people we left.

6. Exhale:

Transition instrumental track intended to create a dreamy imagination. It alternates dark country film-like soundscapes inspired by Ennio Morricone, Swans, and Woven Hand with sitar-led psychedelic vibes that recall similitudes with Master Musicians of Bukkake, The Beatles, and Kikagaku Moyo with a touch of post-rock.

7. Winter Blues:

The darker track of the album brings influences from both post-hardcore and black metal with a touch of melancholy, lyrics are about remembering with nostalgia someone who was a cared one in a relationship of the past.

8. Nairobi Lullaby:

Most pop-oriented song of the recorded. It is a ballad that mixes Indian instruments like sitar and tanpura with acoustic guitar, fretless bass, drums and clean vocals, in a similar way of The Beatles’ Norwegian Wood. Lyrics are about remembering the fragilities and life difficulties of a cared person.
