about

Camden Town's You The Living have hit the ground running with their debut EP, "I". A cavernous wash of pitch-shifted guitar, icy synths and ghostly, half-whispered vocals offer a dark twist to the genre's usual warm blanket of sound.

Aidan from the band explains why they chose the track: "We had quite a long shortlist, including “I Took Your Name”, “Bad Day”, and a gloomy, sardonic version of “Shiny Happy People”.

In the end, we went with “Living Well is the Best Revenge” because we wanted to do something faster and heavier - a mood we were experimenting with for the album we’re writing and recording at the moment.

It ended up being a rather serendipitous choice. Bill Rieflin - R.E.M’s drummer on their later albums, including “Accelerate” - was also part of many industrial and post-punk bands, including Ministry, Swans, and KMFDM. What we wound up with was a version of the song from an alternate reality in which it was written by one of Rieflin’s other bands!"
