They toil in deserts and on busy freeways, at the top of massive seaside cliffs and in the dim neighborhood dives of sunny L.A. The landscape is rife with energy and all the while they are collecting. Despite the great abundance they are not taking but merely assimilating, recording, merging and regurgitating their interpretation of the beauty and chaos all around.

Attempts to describe them often land at “psych” -- as in “psychedelic,” “psych-pop hypnotists,” or a “psych-rock band in pop clothing.” The terminology is often bogged down by notions of illicit indulgences or foolhardy voyages into the vast inner unknown. But this particular brand of rock ‘n roll is more than a simple affront to the machine-pop dominating our present-day collective consciousness. It is an alternative translation of the world around us, one that captures the essence of power and beauty and emotion that human beings are uniquely attuned to, that our machines allow us to ignore. That is the goal.

Bolstered by positive response, they pushed themselves to explore within and without, to further develop their abilities and to hone their own individual expressions. The result was Habitats (2013), an eclectic blend of pop and psychedelic hard rock. A marked progression from their first release, Habitats has seen both repeated FM play and positive commentary from LA’s independent music press. A hugely successful release show at Silver Lake hub El Cid verified that their sound was turning heads.

With the release of Fear, Young Creatures found themselves amidst new and exciting opportunities. Classic Rock Magazine selected the single "Fear All The Things" for inclusion new-wave psychedelia compilation, with a writeup featuring the band.
