BEST YOUTH

Best Youth.png

“Everywhen” is the title of Best Youth’s latest work—a new album and live show marking the duo’s return, where Catarina Salinas and Ed Rocha Gonçalves explore their creative universe like never before, this time through the concept of time.

 

From the eleven songs that make up Everywhen, the duo has crafted a performance designed to immerse the audience in a musical and visual experience, inviting them to suspend time itself. This journey allows for a simultaneous glimpse into the past and future, as if looking into a mirror. The album’s title track is the key to this concept—a song where reverse mode blurs with the ticking of the clock, merging what has been with what is yet to come, creating a dynamic present that is both liberating and thought-provoking.

 

The setlist will reflect this fusion—new tracks like “Back With A Bang,” “Cool Kids,” and “Out Of Time” intertwining with the unforgettable songs that define Best Youth, such as “Midnight Rain,” “Mirrorball,” and “Hangout”. A journey through the “newtro” trends they have always embraced.

 

On stage, just Ed and Kate, deepening the unique space they occupy in the national music scene, making Everywhen yet another bold step in their ever-evolving creative expression.
