'Dreaming youth band' Catch the Young sings a confession of youth at the peak of summer.
Catch the Young (Sani, Gi-hun, Nam-hyun, Jun-yong, Jung-mo) will release 'Ideal Type' on the 26th at noon through various online music sites.
'Ideal Type' is a 'Synth-Rock' track that delicately blends the colors of synth-pop and classic rock. The bouncy synthesizer sound, retro-fueled rock riffs, and the sweet melodies characteristic of K-pop can be regarded as the essence of Catch the Young's 'pop alchemy.'
The refreshing and straightforward sound, combined with Catch the Young's unique honest and pure confession narrative, evokes a moment of sudden excitement from an old friend.
In particular, the classical riff reminiscent of 70s classic rock and Nam-hyun's break part added depth and a unique twist to the song. The powerful band sound unique to Catch the Young and the sophisticated sense of melody confirm the team's matured composing abilities.
Previously, Catch the Young made their mark as an experimental band by exploring the expansiveness of progressive rock with the instrumental track 'The Young Wave.' This 'Ideal Type' is a song that maintains a more popular yet unique musical texture, proving both the band's identity and growth.
In particular, the liner notes for this song were written by music critic and author Im Hee-yoon, capturing attention. Im Hee-yoon noted, "This track is an ideal summer song that intricately weaves retro elements with today's sensibilities," also highly praising the balance of sound experimentation and emotion unique to Catch the Young.
Catch the Young has honed their live performance skills through numerous large festival stages since their debut, and this year, following their addition to the 'Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival' lineup, they have consecutively marked their name on domestic representative stages like the '2025 Jeonju Ultimate Music Festival (JUMF)' and '2025 Sound Planet Festival.' Based on their musicality and teamwork, Catch the Young, which is following a steady upward curve, is expected to breathe fresh air into the band scene with this comeback, solidifying once again their description as a youth band.
Meanwhile, Catch the Young's new single 'Ideal Type' can be listened to from noon on the 26th through various online music sites.
