'Sky Beats Gold' is a brooding take on materialism in the world today.

Pittsburgh alt rockers Young Fox took their time releasing a proper full-length after they made their mark with debut EP Predecessors in 2014. Three years later, Sky Beats Gold is here: 10 tracks of slow-burning, layered, brooding rock that’s reminiscent of Alice in Chains at its most subdued, and Sunny Day Real Estate at its most frenetic. "All around we were shooting for something heavy, ambient, and dynamic," says bassist Callan Carnahan. "We built one of the baritones that was used on nearly every song, and the low register adds a super heavy, punchy feel to the record. That combined with various drop tunings added this huge, deep timbre to the songs that really resonates with the feel of the album and the lyrical content."

Carnahan, Luke Cypher (vocals/guitar), Martin Lunn (guitar), and Chris Hawthorne (drums), have given birth to an album that’s been described as introspective and intrepid. "Given the state of things, it’s easy to get discouraged, point fingers, and place blame," says the band. "Overall, the album does consider a positive message in a time of total political and religious upheaval. This supports our notion that in the end, after all the disease and perceived coldness of the universe, taking an introspective step back from reality and examining the bigger picture does reveal that humanity and life are inherently good."

Myspace caught up with the band about the new album. Read the full interview below.
