Young Father's return with their sophomore album, ‘White Men Are Black Men Too!’
During a jam-packed 2014 including over 140 shows from Paris to Sydney, ‘White Men Are Black Men Too’ found itself being recorded at various places around the world, including a hotel room in Illinois, a rehearsal room in Melbourne, a freezing cellar in Berlin, a photographic studio in London and Young Fathers' normal hole-in-the-ground basement in Edinburgh. Keen to defy categorisation, the band describe it as “rock and pop. And hiphop, too. (Woops, slipped out).”
Of the album, band member Alloysious Massaquoi's said: “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.”
