Tape Two

2013 release from the Scottish trio. Those who heard Young Fathers' striking debut EP, the percussively lush and darkly intoxicating Tape One, were left holding their jaws in their palms, lifting the slack as best they could to form the following words: Where in the world do they go from here? the answer to the question is far more logical than expected: Tape Two. The range these young men span from song to song is heroic. They are masters of emotion, experts with texture, incredible with rhythms, and fierce wielders of noise. But they are also capable of being all of these things at once and coming out the other end with an odd masterpiece. Young Fathers can do this because they have been making music (and art and videos) together since they were 14 years old, and are telepathic besides.
