Young Ejecta is Leanne Macomber (Neon Indian, Fight Bite) and Joel Ford (Autre Ne Veut, Oneohtrix Point Never, How To Dress Well, Ford & Lopatin).
The storyful electronic pop of Young Ejecta is born from emotive songwriting: dancing between both extravagant italo-disco and ambient futurist soundscapes. Ford's textures and beats are determined, while Macomber's bounding yet understated vocals explore themes of love and grief.
Macomber describes (Young) Ejecta as a character, one that is conceptually represented by volcanic activity and the earth’s constant state of change and rebirth. Leanne explains a desire for Ejecta to be “universal” and “timeless”, so is thus represented in the nude.
