Post Description

In creating his latest album, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Anthony Green ventured further away from his punk/hardcore roots and pushed deeper into the lush, intricate, melody-driven brand of alt-rock he’d begun to master on his first two solo offerings. The inaugural release from the Circa Survive frontman’s newly launched imprint Moshtradamus Records—and Green’s first solo album recorded in a studio instead of D.I.Y.-style at home—Young Legs is a masterful collection of sprawling, lavishly textured pop. But while the album is Green’s most ambitious effort so far in a 10-year music career, Young Legs also bears a warm intimacy that proves both his strength and ingenuity as a songwriter.

 Made at Studio 4 Recording in his home state of Pennsylvania, Young Legs finds Green teaming up with Will Yip, a producer/engineer who’s previously worked with Circa Survive (as well as artists as diverse as The Fray, Lauryn Hill, Arctic Monkeys, and Beanie Sigel). “I wanted this album to sound bigger and more atmospheric than anything I’d ever done, and I knew that working with Will could make that happen,” says Green. For more help in broadening his sound, Green once again joined forces with Good Old War, the Pennsylvania-based indie-folk trio who served as his backing band on 2008’s Avalon and 2012’s Beautiful Things. And to take full advantage of his uncommon chemistry with his longtime collaborators, Green waited until hitting the studio to finish writing the songs he’d sketched out for Young Legs. “Every time I’ve recorded with Good Old War there have been so many amazing things born from everyone getting together and jamming, instead of me just sitting in a room and writing alone,” he says. “I wanted to make sure that we had as many of those moments as possible, and that we were able to catch them in the recording of the album.”
