In June 2023, Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor shared the stage at the iconicSydney Opera House during the Vivid Live Festival. This encounter reignitedtheir creative partnership, laying the foundation for their collaborative new albumAll Worlds.Drawing inspiration from the Golden Record sent into space as humanity'smessage to the unknown, All Worlds mirrors this longing for connection andunderstanding. Each track captures a fragment of emotion, culture, or memory,offering a kaleidoscopic view of the human experience.The album's title reflects the idea of collecting fragments from disparate places,feelings, and stories. Each song unveils a unique "world," contributing tooverarching themes of exploration and introspection. These "worlds" represent theinner landscapes we carry, shaping our identities. The title also gestures towardconnection-as if these worlds float through space, waiting to be discovered andunderstood. Ultimately, All Worlds embodies the quest for belonging and meaning.Through a sonic journey of isolation, resilience, and wonder, introspective lyricsintertwine with lush, evocative soundscapes. Retaining the dreamy atmospherescharacteristic of both Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor, the album's reverbdrenched production lends it an ethereal, nostalgic quality. While themes ofmelancholy and longing are central, energetic beats and uplifting arrangementsintroduce a bittersweet harmony that oscillates between vulnerability and euphoria.The album marks a shift in tone, moving away from Lust For Youth's synth-drivenpost-punk roots. Instead, All Worlds embraces a dance-oriented aesthetic, weavingpulsating rhythms and techno-inspired motifs with layered vocal samples. Theresult is a textured soundscape-an exploration of emotional fragility throughshimmering production and introspective melodies.Celebrating twelve years since their 2013 ambient-industrial album Pomegranate, AllWorlds reflects the evolution of Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor. This albumserves as both a response to their earlier work and a progression informed by adecade of growth and change. It deepens their exploration of sound and meaning,speaking directly to the present moment.Like the Golden Record adrift in space, All Worlds is a collection of momentswaiting to connect with those who choose to listen.
