Los Angeles twins Christoph and Anton Hochheim, known for their work with Beach Fossils, Wild Nothing and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, return as Always You with Against The World, due November 13 via Hit The North Records. Produced and mixed by Jack Tatum of Wild Nothing, the album marks a shift away from the softer romanticism of their previous work towards a more visceral take on synth-pop and dream pop. New single “1994” captures that change through bittersweet melodies, colourful synths and a widescreen pop sheen.
On the track, Always You share: “‘1994’ is a song about clinging to specific times and seeking refuge in them, often to moments that never really existed. We live in a world that deals nostalgia as currency, where the past is constantly viewed through rose tinted lenses, with our youth put on a pedestal and the continual quest to return to that version of ourselves always just out of reach. We long to return to the simpler times before life pulled us from each other and ourselves, before our hardships and tragedies calloused us to the world, back to a time that only ever existed in our minds.”
