The Positions

Gang of Youths

Ten tracks of sprawling, heart-on-sleeve rock. A dense and orchestral debut that processes terminal illness and grief through massive, cathartic crescendos.

April 17, 2015 · Mosy Recordings

Find on Amazon

A relentless, confrontational energy balanced by moments of exhausted, bruised tenderness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, drum-heavy release in the final third of Magnolia that feels like a desperate dance against death.
The way Vital Signs builds from a skeletal piano line into a towering, seven-minute wall of sound and strings.
The stark, intimate vocal delivery on Knuckles White Dry that sounds like a whispered confession in a quiet room.
