Young Fathers - White Men Are Black Men Too

Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release from the Electro-Hop trio. Let’s get that album title out of the way first: White Men Are Black Men Too. And then the sticker on the vinyl and CD: ‘file under Rock and Pop’. Where does a group like Young Fathers, who pick n' mix from the popular music sweet shop and fly no flags and swear allegiance to no country - where do they go? They have to go to the place where Beck makes a sandwich with The Beach Boys and Captain Beefheart, where Faust and The Fall tango. For the purposes of this mission, this album, this White Men Are Black Men Too, is rock and pop. And hip hop, too. The listeners can decide for themselves. The sounds are closer on this album, closer to your ears. These hooks, they stay with you. There are less words than before.
