Store Categories YOUNG FATHERS White Men Are Black Too (Ltd Ed) / LP NEW VINYL+7" / Big Dada 2015

*Limited edition with bonus 7-inch record, available at independent record stores only.*

The trio from Edinburgh return after making waves in the indie scene. This is experimental indie-rock-hip-hop and pop all in one abstract package. Gaining steam and following thanks to distribution from Anticon and Big Dada with tours around the globe, the Young Fathers continue to gain acclaim from critics and their latest album is no exception. Trying to classify the music by tacking on label after label, genres mutating with one another, it's just a thing you have to listen to and experience yourself to understand what all the hype is about.

"So… Young Fathers are breaking out of the ghetto. For the purposes of this mission, this album, this "White Men Are Black Men Too", is rock and pop. And hiphop, too. No, you don’t box in the R&B Hits 2003 generation that easily. The sounds are closer on this album, closer to your ears. It sounds as if you are in the room during the recording, possibly experiencing a little existential trauma, but not enough that you don’t notice an earworm hook when you hear one. These hooks, they stay with you. ‘Is that what they mean by pop’? you ask yourself. Could be, Madonna, could be. There are less words than before. Why, for f*ck’s sake? Where is the hiphop? It slides in, like a reverse version, a negative, of the hiphop blueprint of eight verses and a sweet, female wail of a hook (while comedy rapper number 6 mutters ‘uh huh, uh huh’, you know, keeping it real). But YFs lob raps into songs that morph into sung verses then back into the tune, with no respect, none! for the law."
