"If Richard Youngs ever wanted to make an album for the ages, he could. His voice bears the trial-won wisdom of an aged farmer. His circular guitar patterns entrance. His electronic timbres pulse with all the color of a choral fugue. In sum, Youngs infuses his music with poetic emotion and classical power. But he never pours all of his talents into any single recording. Instead, he creates focused albums: a minimalist piano piece here, a collection of primitivistic acid-rock there, a set of acoustic folk in between.
Autumn Response, like earlier releases Sapphie and May, is a display of Youngs’ idiosyncratic take on British folk. Each of these songs contains simple ingredients: acoustic guitar, two vocal tracks, and a repetitive melody. Sharp picking and the doubled vocals lend the album a disorienting, sub-psychedelic feel, but the songwriting itself is clear and linear." tiny mix tapes
richard youngs hace suyas las palabras otoño, verano y bucle y las razones por las que nos gusta tanto se multiplican por mil. hay una canción que se llama I'm the Wheather y así es Autumn Response, un disco clima envolvente que no llega al grado de locura de Naive Shaman pero en donde siguen repitiéndose hasta el infinito las voces que se superponen, las guitarras, y unas letras fascinantes siempre en contacto con la naturaleza: caballos, agua, orilla, clima, otoño, aire, luz... en Low Bay Sky repite una y otra vez "i'm so young, i'm so young"....
