YOUNG THE GIANT

Debut Single Apartment

Young & Lost Club - February 6th

Plus First UK Shows

Californian quintet Young The Giant will release their debut single,

Apartment, through Young & Lost Club on February 6th, making their

first foray to the UK with a trio of London shows around the single’s

release.

Fast becoming a very big noise in the online world (they’re currently

#2 on We Are Hunted, for starters) and hailed by Paper Magazine for

their “fusion of Cali-boy swagger and ethnic sounds”, the members of

Young The Giant indeed present a set of musical ideas as diverse and

varied as their ethnic backgrounds.  With Indian, Persian, British

and

French-Canadian heritage behind them, the band members yet share a

sophisticated sensibility and they're all natives of Orange County.

After the self-released  Shake My Hand EP  in the US last year, a

newfound following saw Young The Giant attract considerable A&R

attention. Following opening slots for the Whigs and Kings of Leon at

Chicago's House of Blues and a pit stop at South by Southwest, they

eventually signed with Roadrunner in the US.

Between time spent cutting their touring teeth, the band began work

on

their upcoming debut album with producer Joe Chiccarelli, whose work

for artists like the White Stripes, the Raconteurs and My Morning

Jacket they admired (My Morning Jacket's Bo Koster actually guests on

several of the album's tracks).  Tracking most of the songs live at

Sunset Sound and Kingsize Studio in LA with Chiccarelli and mixing at

Electric Lady Studios in NYC with Michael Brauer (Coldplay, My

Morning

Jacket), Young the Giant have spent the past few months further

touring the US, with dates upcoming with Cold War Kids and Neon

Trees.

Young The Giant will make their UK debut at the following shows:

Fri FEB 4th LONDON, Koko (Club NME)

Tues 8th LONDON, Water Rats

“Young the Giant draws on European and Middle Eastern roots to

enrich its vivid, vibrant rock…their superb self-titled debut album

that rings with unexpected arrangements and tasty vocal harmonies.

It's a pop masterpiece…” – Wall Street Journal

“Heavy hitting indie rock…catchy and epic!” – KCRW

“Rising stars.” -Billboard

“Had The Strokes come of age in the era of The OC and The Hills they

might’ve sounded like this…you won’t find a note out of place.” – NME
