Young Fathers by Jordan Hemmingway
Young Fathers will be in Wales between August 17th-20th.
Green Man Festival has hit the ground running once again with the likes of Young Fathers, First Aid Kit, The Walkmen, Spiritualized, Confidence Man, Goat, Squid and Snail Mail all among the first wave of confirmed artists.
Young Fathers are booked not long after the release of their new album Heavy Heavy; one which, ‘leaves a lot of meaning to the beholder‘, according to our review:
“Fears are buried deeper but also still there on the exuberant opener Rice, on which there’s almost too many ideas vying for airtime; underneath its many threads the words sow caution against damaging a planet for which the clock is ticking inexorably.”
“The constant noise of brainwaves colliding and producers going wherever they want means there’s never any time to settle.”
There are no sequences; here the frosty ambience of Tell Somebody faces off with the sample-heavy and abrasive Shoot Me Down, the brevity and eclecticism often giving things the looser feel of a mixtape.
