Pehrspace presents the Young Lovers album release show with MyVeronica and Draag. ∆ Out of a vicious cycle of heartbreak, self-discovery, and redemption comes Los Angeles post-rockers **Young Lovers**’ sophomore album *The Circle’s End*, a sprawling, elegiac tribute to growing past the very cycles that bind us. Under the guidance of producer David Jerkovich, the band’s dense, energetic guitar-based soundscapes of their debut 2020 LP evolve beautifully into orchestral and vocal harmony for their 2025 effort, throwing their signature raw emotionality into clearer, sharper relief. The result is an uncommonly intimate journey through the band’s personal and collective coming-of-age. Inspired by 90’s emo, shoegaze, and alternative rock, **MyVeronica** began as the solo project of singer/guitarist Mia Lin. Now a four-piece band, MyVeronica is still an outlet for “exploring the deeply personal through the universal,” shares Lin. The band seeks catharsis and exorcism: accessing the deep, sensitive part of yourself that doesn’t have space in daily life. Five-piece **Draag** gained a reputation for their sonically immersive live shows, mostly by word of mouth. Draag interweaves shoegaze, electro-industrial, and punk elements into a bittersweet ballad. Over the years they’ve aligned themselves with bands who subvert the shoegaze genre into something far more interesting. Each release (EPs “Nontoxic Process,” “Clara Luz,” “Actually, the quiet is nice” and LP “Dark Fire Heresy”) is self-produced and immersed in stacked layers of guitar, nintendo era synths, and warped and reversed tape samples. Both the sonic and visual worlds reach back into the past in order for it to not be erased.
