The Sunshine of Your Youth is the debut album by American indie pop band Cheerleader, released in 2015 by Bright Antenna Records.[3] The album release was supported by a nationwide tour with UK act The Wombats.[4]

Critical reception

Spin wrote that the album "showcases a series of fizzy, blurry-eyed tracks: 'A Million Ways' combines dream-rock guitar riffs with sugary-sweet melodies, while the whimsically synthy 'Dreamer' glides into shoegaze territory with frontman Joe Haller’s lo-fi vocals at the forefront."[2] The Saratogian wrote that "the band stays true to their sunny, optimistic name throughout, delivering a record full of hope, wonder, and undeniable warmth."[5]
