Bright Pop From Young Man

tx3p_SMYM1crJoryCordyThis new tune “Unfair” from Young Man is about as straightforward and easy to catch on to as it gets when talking about pop music.  I really dig the swirling guitars and breeziness that mixes in beautifully throughout the song.  It’s not likely that you’ll find a better pop tune if you try looking for one.

New album Beyond Was All Around Me hits stores on April 9th via French Kiss Records.

Show Pics: Suckers @ Red7 (5/25)

And so we run feature/show pic stories back to back, what? No big deal.

After the Lost In Austin session, Suckers decided they might as well play a set at Red7. We all decided to entertain Ryan and Nathan’s bromance by attending and I took some pics, naturally. I am still trying to warm up to the inside stage at Red7, my biggest gripe now being the lights. I missed Boyfrndz, caught the last bit of Young Man and was surrounded by friends for Suckers. Last Friday night was a great night.

Anyway, hit the read more for a few thoughts and pics…

Chilled Out Bedroom Pop from Young Man

As we grow closer and closer to the release of Young Man‘s Vol. 1 LP, the buzz seems to continue to grow. I’m not going to lie and pretend like I’m not buying into the hype, but I’ll say that this is perhaps my favorite track of all that’s been floating around so far.  There’s steady pacing, and the music that surrounds Colin Caulfield’s vocals is perfectly fitting.  There’s nothing overdone in this track; it’s all just understated enough to come across as beautifully trickled bedroom pop music.  You can finally get your hands on this record when it hits stores on May 22nd via Frenchkiss.

New Tunes from Young Man

When we brought you news of Young Man and his Boy EP, we had no idea that some of the songs from that session lay in wait for a later date in time.  We were happy today to find that My Old Kentucky Blog was releasing a new track from Colin Caulfield, as preparation for a new single to be released next Tuesday, December 7th.  This song stranger shows Caulfield going in a similar direction, but with more room for meandering in his own mind, which will definitely benefit the inner workings of our own musical ears.  Yet another reason we should all continue to look forward to Young Man‘s work in the future.

Young Man on Daytrotter

We talked to you guys about how much we loved Young Man when he released his Boy EP not too long ago.  Unfortunately, those four tracks weren’t enough to hold us over for long, so when we found the awesome Daytrotter set today, we were really excited.  The recording features two brand new songs that haven’t been released yet, so you better hurry on over and get a hold of those tracks now.  We’ve got one here, just in case you can’t wait long enough.

New Tunes from Young Man

Chicago native Colin Caulfield is going to be blowing you away this year.  He’s playing under the name of Young Man, but there’s nothing that sounds entirely young, so to speak, as the melodies go way back in the history of American pop music.  His debut Boy EP will be coming out on Frenchkiss on October 12th, so you better accustomed to hearing him now, as we’re sure that he’s just beginning to rise into the forefront of it all.
