Indie alt-rockers Civil Youth have released the first in a series of studio updates titled Making Conversations; view it here courtesy of idobi Radio. Vocalist Michael Kepko said of the series:

Making Conversation: Studio Updates from Civil Youth is a mini documentary series depicting Civil Youth‘s time in the studio recording our 3rd full length album, Conversations which is set for release May 19th, 2017. Through turbulent and some of the best times of our lives, watch what it’s like to record parts, talk with the band, and see inside what a day in the studio is like. This series will depict what it’s really like to be in a band from all aspects as well as capture the energy of the record itself. Conversations, which happens to be a concept album, tells our story of comparing our present day selves to people we once were, as well as people we want to be. This record enhances everything about Civil Youth, and truly lets our voices be heard.

In this first video of the series, our goal is to get those points across. We cannot wait to release the full album, but for now, let your imagination run wild!”

Conversations is scheduled to hit stores on May 19th. The group will be playing an album release show on the day after its release at Theatre Of The Living Arts in their hometown of Philadelphia, PA.
