Youth Sector have taken on the wellness industry in their new single ‘No.1 Bestseller’. The new single comes with the news that their new EP, Adult Contemporary will arrive 18 February 2022 via Family Values.

The new song is a funk, art-rock piece about the industry selling us short-term wellness fixes for wider problems. The visual sees lead singer Nick Tompkins try feng shui, yoga and smoothies in an endless loop (and it feels like a bit of a call out):

“The song is about the pursuit of ‘wellness’, and how it seems as though the industry and culture around wellness is pushing the onus of mental wellbeing onto the individual by selling us books, yoga programs, diet plans and anecdotal fixes.”

The upcoming EP will follow on from this tone by exploring wider societal problems, creating an accurate image of modern life when it’s mixed with Youth Sectors brand of alt-funk.

Adult Contemporary EP Tracklist:

  1. Self Exile
  2. No.1 Bestseller
  3. Always Always Always
  4. Is Blood
