Big Dada announce Young Fathers new album 'White Men Are Black Men Too'

Young Fathers have just announced their latest album White Men Are Black Men Too, out April 6th on Big Dada. Let’s get that title out of the way: White Men Are Black Men Too. Please read the accompanying words, straight from Alloysious’ mouth.

And then the sticker on the vinyl and CD: ‘file under Rock and Pop’... When the sci-fi 20’s ‘Urban’ might as well be the atomic 50’s ‘Race’, when R&B has no blues and hiphop is a boom bip with a shorty, a hoe, it’s off to the street corner we go... where does a group like Young Fathers call home in a record store? So... Young Fathers are breaking out of the ghetto.

2014 was an interesting year for the group. Yep, awards etc and they played around 130 shows, around the world and, on the way, recorded this album in a hotel room in Illinois, a rehearsal room in Melbourne, a freezing cellar in Berlin, a photographic studio in London and their normal hole in the ground basement in Edinburgh. It was easy - it’s always easy. You can hear the smiling. Formed in a hue of a reddy blue with a touch of yellow, like most things - the colour of the future.

“Rain or Shine” is the propulsive and deftly layered first single from the album. Describing the track, the group asks: “you wanted to hear The Monks jamming with Can and the Commodores, right? And then The Last Poets jumping in on the end before it gets too late? And a paranoid prophet, wandering a post-apocalyptic desert, talking to himself? Served with fries...” Hear “Rain or Shine” now via: http://YoungFathers.com (If you are fast you can download it for free in exchange for mailing list sign up too...)
