Young Fathers by Jordan Hemmingway
Young Fathers will be at Somerset House on Saturday, July 15th.
Young Fathers, Interpol and Beabadoobee are some of the artists who’ll be playing this year’s run of summer concerts at Somerset House in London.
It adds to the live work for Young Fathers after the recent release of their Heavy Heavy album – ‘an unfettered headrush that’s ready to be played on anybody’s radio station‘, according to our review:
Its arrival was long preceded by Geronimo, the skittering MPC beats and ear bending chorus backing words about what to make of life as it becomes more complicated: ‘Got the feeling that I’m caught in a bind/Being a son, brother, uncle, father figure/I gotta survive and provide.’
“Bankole himself used the unplanned sabbatical for trips to Ghana and Ethiopia, his exposure to the spontaneous, communal approach to music making there projected via the uplifted, entwined vocal harmonies that give Drum an epic backdrop.”
