Rapid Youth dude Travis Von Sydow returns with another selection of solo cuts under the Ancient Crux moniker cheekily entitled 'Interracial Coupling'. If you are familiar with or enjoyed Sydow's last EP 'Stage Freight' then you'll have some idea what to expect here. The songwriting and Sydow's voice have improved significantly and the selection is more adventurous this time round, abandoning the shoegaze vibe in favour of pure art rock flavoured garage pop stylings. The reverberant, Spectrals-esque tone is still apparent but only in the production and some elements of the delivery. It's fairly shambolic stuff but in the best possible way, after all you don't wanna be labouring those takes. I'll admit this Sydow feller is starting to grow on me - very charming stuff!

Basically what put Family Time on the map. Travis from Rapid Youth debuts Ancient Crux, with it’s smooth ability to create beautiful pop songs that make you wonder why you can’t love as strong. These were handscreened by me and a bunch of members of various family bands.
