Which is especially poignant in the long tail of losing vocalist Devra Freelander, a talented sculptor, and beloved human who departed this plane the summer right before they finished the record. She's so alive and vital on this record - she smiled when she sang, you can hear it. Much has befallen the world in the interim, too - the somewhat uncharacteristically sold out Youth Pastoral release show at Union Pool happened in the period between the first identified case of COVID in the area and NYC's total shutdown in March of 2020. It was the one show that version of the band ever got to play. And as it became less and less possible to gather, these songs with their gang vocals and cacophonous, humanistic peaks sounded better and better - was this why the record got so much previously unprecedented attention? Why the first run of the LP has been sold out for years? There was a great shuffle, people moved, studios closed, we lost leases on practice spaces but - in the best possible way - this record endures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut that's what the record came to mean upon release, what about its text? Time spent and once cherished in a Southern California Megachurch is, like, the root cause of Ben's whole thing, and on Youth Pastoral he can't quite figure out what it means to break up with God, to be perhaps alone in the cosmos - piano lessons with the choir accompanist, allowed to play bass in the youth group worship band at 13, still jonesing for that first high, channeling divinity into something that can be played on guitar or sung out en masse. You can hear it in the music - hymnic uplift, prayerful crescendos, synthesizer drones as organ, a group of people all singing around a shared microphone. It's also pretty directly captured in the lyrics, with many mentions of prayer. And in Ben's perspective, the Creator and the astounding, ego-nullifying California coastline are inexorably linked, they are one in the same - the Pacific Ocean was the sight of his baptism, gel in his hair, and braces on his teeth. And so we hear torch songs of youth and of the craggy, deafening cliffs, we feel the youth pastor's suntanned hand on our foreheads guiding us into the threatening brine, and off in the distance the Hare Krishnas of Laguna Beach chant ceaselessly, clanging metal over the sound of a harmonium.
