Cure For Youth- Synthetic World

Label: À La Carte

Released 11/13/2026

LA post-punk quartet Cure For Youth arrive with their debut LP "Synthetic World" (à La Carte Records, October 30) — twelve songs, thirty-five minutes, no fat. Scott Savarie, Catarina Teles, Connor McKenna, and Nicolas Sturz make hook-heavy post-punk pressed through enough reverb, chorus, and delay to widen the room without losing the snap of musicians who learned their phrasing in the pit. The lineage runs through Joy Division at its sharpest and lands like Ceremony or The Men once those bands worked out what to do with their tempos. Thematically the album sits in the present tense — modern life as a problem of attention, loss as the thing that arrives without permission. Recorded and mixed by Alex Jacobelli at Sunsick Studios and mastered by Andrew Oswald. Pressed on cloudy clear vinyl.
