MUSIC: The You



The You's album, called For The Masses, is one of the more fascinating albums to land in my lap lately. Josh Verbanets, out of Pittsburgh, is the man behind the project. Recorded over a number of different sessions in a number of different states with a number of different musicians, the album ends up exactly as you might imagine: erratic. I imagine the group would benefit from a consistent recording session on their next album. However, with that said, there is definitely some talent here..... good songwriting and structure are immediate noticeable. Here are a couple of my favorite tracks off the album.

::: The You - I'm Going To Kill Myself
::: The You - Lindsay Schwartz
