Young Fathers - Geronimo

Young Fathers fall into a different category than most of our favorite artists. Because they make music differently. We’re not sure if unconventional is the most appropriate adjective to use, but today we’ll be running with it. They’re finally back after a long and arduous four or so years - and while correlation doesn’t equal causation, it’s fair to speculate that the complete unraveling of the world in that timespan can be directly pinned on Young Fathers’ hiatus. Because the world needs more Young Fathers to simply get along and get by. After a few dozen spins through “Geronimo,” we feel better already. It starts off rather gloomy, but the bright light at the end of the sonic tunnel they’ve created expands as the melody simultaneously unfolds. And what transpires is a feel-good anthem that’s designed to help propel you over whatever hump as eluded you in life thus far. Suffice to say, we’re quite glad this Scotland-based three-piece is back and better than ever. We’ll be eagerly awaiting more new singles in the leadup to their sixth LP.
