After beating out the likes of FKA twigs and Jungle to win the Mercury Prize for Best Album at the end of 2014, Young Fathers started 2015 strongly by announcing a new album and sharing a song called “Rain or Shine.” Their new album White Men Are Black Men Too will be out April 7 via Big Dada, and the Scottish trio have just dropped the second single, “Shame.”
It’s catchy, spiky, a little rough around the edges, and has us very excited for the band’s new album. Check out the song and the band’s upcoming US tour dates below.
