Ahead of their UK and Ireland Tour, whenyoung share an ambitious new music video.
Taken from their debut album Reasons to Dream, whenyoung release their new single 'A Labour of Love', and a stunning, experimental new visual to accompany it.
The song is easily one of the most anthemic on the album. A wall of chiming guitars packs a heart-rending punch as singer Aoife Power bares her soul in the lyrics and the elegant spoken word break in the third act.
Whenyoung now released visuals that were split into 6 episodes delivered across the band's social accounts. Split into a non-linear time line, the visuals tell the story of heist gone wrong in a style that pays homage to their favourite film makers such as Quentin Tarantino and Jean-Luc Godard.

In his album review, Hot Press' Wayne Byrne said about whenyoung's debut record, "With Reasons To Dream, whenyoung have carved out their own distinctive brand of infectious indie dream pop. This is an album to rank among the finest Irish LPs of recent times."
Back in May of this year, Aoife Power told Peter McGoran what inspired the album. "I suppose it is about being immigrants in London and finding our place here", she said, "our experiences here allowed us to grow. And then in doing that, we were able to look back at our relationship with Limerick and even start to miss it. That inspired a lot of the album - that juxtaposition between the two places."
Whenyoung are kicking off their UK and Ireland Tour in October with dates in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway set for November.
