these thoughts are like mandatory chores

New Tune from Yung

I really dig the vibe coming from Danish outfit, Yung. Interestingly, they seem to be meeting where my own two music worlds collided (or do collide). Part of the song has this infectious power-indiepop vibe to it, while the other part has this classic alternative vocal growl. All the while there’s this urgency from the band, which definitely carries over to the listener. I reckon it’s just another good reason to give their These Thoughts Are Like Mandatory Chores EP a few listens on its September 18th release date, courtesy of a Fat Possum.

Yung Sign To Fat Possum/ Announce EP

August 6, 2015 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

I first heard about Danish band Yung at the beginning of July with their single “Burning Bodies,” so naturally I’m pleased to hear that the band’s signed to the great Fat Possum label and have got more music on the way. The new EP is called These Thoughts Are Like Mandatory Chores and it’s due out September 18th. Below is “Blue Uniforms,” and it’s an extra gritty spin on lo-fi while still maintaining a hint of melodic jangle to the otherwise garage punk sound. The vocals are just how they should be: fuzzy and distorted to a barely discernible level, and when you think the track is kind of tame, the band launches into it with full bite…especially at the end where they properly jam out.
