They got in touch back in the summer and, for whatever reason, we never got around to posting about them. Luckily, I stumbled upon them again, this time their new single ‘Way I Sound’. The song is a blend of emo and grunge that sounds like a collaboration between Cursive, Cap’n Jazz and Nirvana, the hints of raucous swagger at odds with the dark and weird lyrics. Listen below:

What is slightly confusing is that the single we were sent in the summer doesn’t seem to be available anymore. ‘Low’ was a different animal, much more atmospheric and developed that ‘Way I Sound’, complete with a video starring Allison Scagliotti.

You can download ‘Way I Sound’ from their Bandcamp page. The EP is due out in early April on Toblerone Sunrise Records, so I guess time will tell whether ‘Low’ makes it on. We will keep you posted. In the meantime, check out Bummer’s session with Daytrotter.

If you are unfamiliar with Young Jesus, they released a superb EP back in 2012. We wrote a little bit about it here, and you can download it on a pay-what-you-can basis here.
