Social Creature by Youth XL

We made a record during the worst year ever. Social Creature started forming as a sort of “B Side” to Text Your Friends, and was written during practice sessions over 2019 and into 2020. These 4 songs represent a shift in the Youth XL sound. A little more grown-up, yet a little more raw.

🍂September is a song about breaking up and floundering around in the nostalgia of past relationships.

🥗Salad is about struggling to eat healthy and loving your mom.

🤪Fake Fun is about the downsides of partying too much, and learning how to create happiness with organic ingredients.

😈Social Creature the song is about the double-edged sword of socia media.

Social Creature the album is about getting trapped in your memories and in your screen. Sometimes it feels like we’re posting content into the abyss. But who knows… maybe somebody will care 🤷🏻‍♂️
