With Generational Transmission, Marsha Swanson redefines the possibilities of progressive pop. The single’s lush arrangements—anchored by Benet McClean’s string wizardry and Keith Prior’s grounding percussion—create a soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive. Swanson’s vocals glide through this landscape with quiet conviction, carrying a lyrical meditation on how trauma and resilience echo across generations.

The claymation video by Sam Chegini brings the song’s themes into striking visual focus. The clay figures shift, fracture, and evolve as they carry the weight of inheritance, a poignant metaphor for the human condition. In moments of glowing transformation, the video suggests that awareness can lead not only to survival but to liberation.

What emerges is a seamless synergy of sound and sight—an artistic collaboration that doesn’t just illustrate the music but expands it. Swanson’s ability to intertwine narrative, metaphor, and progressive sound design cements Generational Transmission as both a deeply personal offering and a universally resonant piece of art.

The band returns to Europe not long after being a headliner for K-INDIE ON FESTIVAL 2026 IN BERLIN

"PARANOIA is finally out in the world, and we wish you show it a lot of love. I'm also really looking forward to the UK and Europe tour. There's the curiosity of going somewhere we haven't been, and especially the thought of going to the UK, the home of band music, makes it even more exciting. I hope we can put on our best shows together with our fans in Europe as well." – SANI

PARANOIA is a new style of hard rock that blends various strains of rock music into CATCH THE YOUNG's own sound. The song is about overcoming fear and doubt, believing in yourself, and stepping into a new world. It captures the courage to keep moving forward, pushing beyond your limits, and reaching for the light. PARANOIA marks a new direction for the band, moving beyond their pop-alternative roots and embracing a more anthemic rock sound.

"PARANOIA is a bold, energetic track. Thinking about performing it with all of our fans at the shows already gets my heart racing. I really want to play it live as soon as possible, so please listen to PARANOIA, and I hope you give it lots of love." – NAMHYUN

Not long after the release of their new single, the band will embark on their UK and European tour, CATCH THE YOUNG 2026 EUROPE TOUR IGNITE EVOLVE. It will kick off in November in partnership with European live performance platform FRONTROW. The tour gives European audiences their first chance to hear the new release live. Further details of the tour will be announced through the band's official channels.
