Young Creatures debuted in 2012 before elevating their profile in 2013 with their “Habitats” EP, which coupled singer-guitarist Mike Post’s lyrical heft with crashing, shape-shifting percussion and stabbing guitars. For their full-length “Fear All the Things,” released in late September, Post and bandmates Andrew Gleason, Spencer King and Mikey Escalante again collaborated with producer Raymond Richards (Local Natives, Avid Dancer, Torches). There’s a strong emotive, and even revelatory, quality to Post’s digressions even if the music, for all its modest quirkiness, never quite goes for it. “We don’t want a revolution here,” Post sings in “Revolution.” “We just want to feel again.” It’s a good start.
