The Story Of A Young Heart

A Flock Of Seagulls

Moving away from their early, frantic new wave hits, the band focuses on a shimmering production style. Synthesizers take the lead to build a moody, atmospheric backdrop for songs about emotional distance.

This record was made while the group was adjusting their signature approach. It leans into the lush, layered textures that defined the pop landscape of the eighties. The result serves as a primary example for those tracking the evolution of electronic-infused rock music.
