In June 2023, Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor shared the stage at the iconic Sydney Opera House during the Vivid Live Festival. This encounter rekindled their creative partnership and laid the foundation for their new album together, "All Worlds". Inspired by the Golden Record, sent into space as humanity's message to the unknown, "All Worlds" reflects this longing for connection and understanding. Each track captures a fragment of a feeling, culture or memory, offering a kaleidoscopic view of the human experience. The album's title reflects the idea of collecting fragments from disparate places, feelings and stories. Each song reveals a unique world in itself, contributing to the overarching themes of exploration and introspection. These worlds represent the inner landscapes we carry within us that shape our identity. The title is also a gesture of connection - as if these worlds are floating through space, waiting to be discovered and understood. Ultimately, "All Worlds" embodies the search for belonging and meaning. A sonic journey through isolation, resilience and wonder, introspective lyrics intertwine with lush, evocative soundscapes. The dreamy atmosphere characteristic of both Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor is maintained through the album's reverb-drenched production, giving it an ethereal, nostalgic quality. While themes of melancholy and longing take center stage, energetic beats and uplifting arrangements provide a bittersweet harmony that oscillates between vulnerability and euphoria. The album marks a shift in tone, moving away from Lust For Youth's synth-driven post-punk roots.
