Young Lovers are releasing their new album The Circles End , on June 26th via Anxiety Blanket Records, the Los Angeles outfit are sharing new single “Silver Lining Lost.” The group includes guitarist Mikey Macapagal, drummer Eddie Ramos, bassist Josh Solomon, and vocalist Jonny Higa, the group—whose members come from Filipino, Japanese, and Mexican-American backgrounds—first connected attending and organizing backyard DIY shows in the San Fernando Valley.

The Circles End is our portrait of grief, self-sabotage, and heartbreak, and the vicious cycles they trap us into,” the band shares. “Young Lovers as a project exists as our collective outlet for thoughts and feelings we couldn’t process alone or through any other method, and so this album is us coming together to deal with our own struggles with these very issues. Referentially, this album pulls as much from post-rock and shoegaze as it does from our individual influences of classic pop, R & B, Alternative country, cool jazz, slowcore, and orchestral music, as those forms of music helped us survive and find meaning in difficult times in our lives. We sincerely hope this album can do the same for somebody else.”

Born from cycles of heartbreak, self-discovery, and redemption, The Circle’s End is a sprawling, elegiac meditation on growing beyond the patterns that hold us back. Under the guidance of producer David Jerkovich (Robert Lester Folsom, Ted Lucas) the band’s dense, guitar-driven sound—first established on their 2020 debut LP—evolves into something more expansive and refined, incorporating orchestral arrangements and lush vocal harmonies while retaining the raw emotional core that has always defined Young Lovers. The result is an uncommonly intimate journey through the band’s personal and collective coming of age.
