Childhood<\/strong>\u2018s highly-anticipated second album \u2018Universal High\u2018<\/em>\u00a0is out today via\u00a0Marathon Artists<\/em>. It\u2019s the middle of summer, there\u2019s nothing more relaxing than listening to new material by a gang of London lads that have roamed the scene for quite some time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Spearheaded by\u00a0Ben Romans-Hopscraft, Childhood\u00a0<\/strong>have been putting the finishing touches to a welcomed second album and teasing us with great sounds since the begining of the year. Today marks the full release of \u201cUniversal High\u201d produced with\u00a0the legendary\u00a0Ben H Allen III , who evidently happened to also collaborate with no other than Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective and Deerhunter\u2026 That\u2019s to give you the breadth of how much skill has gone into the record.<\/p>\n

    This new album also showcases the band\u2019s limitless songwriting capabilities. In any case, if you have been following these lads since the beginning with \u00a0their \u2018Lacuna\u2019 debut<\/a>, you won\u2019t be surprised. With elevated tracks such as \u201cSolemn Skies\u201d and \u201cFalls Away\u201d (watch further down) on their dub-charged psychedelic indie debut \u2018Lacuna\u2019<\/a>, it was only a matter of seconds for them to go global and start touring internationally as well as having a great entourage around them to channel all the talent into something rather special. And that day as finally arrived. Today a coherent, creative and beautifully built album sees the light of day with amazingly evocative tracks such as \u201cCalifornian Lights\u201d,\u201dMonitor\u201d and \u201cNothing Ever Seems Right\u201d.<\/p>\n
