The music

Paris, 1980. Through a darker lens.

Tom’s contributions to Youngblood draw on early-1980s instruments, synthesizers and production techniques. Slow-building dystopian electronics sit alongside a much more confrontational post-punk energy.

Behind the score

A period sound for an alternate history.

The music was made within the sonic vocabulary of the era. The selections also include Tom’s production of Joy Division’s A Means to an End, performed by The Guilt—a cover with a place in this particular musical world.
