Afro-Scottish trio Young Fathers released their Tape Two album this past summer, but they’ve already got a follow-up in the works. The 11-track effort, morosely titled Dead, is due out on February 4th through Anticon Records.
As evidenced by their latest single “War”, the three-piece — comprised of Alloysious Massaquoi, Kayus Bankole, and “G” Hastings — have continued to blend and play with the boundaries of rap/soul/psych-pop. Shifting between bleak rhymes and calming croons, it’s a sobering number that tackles warn-torn life and the heart of revenge. Listen in below.
