Young the Giant

Young the Giant

Shimmering, sun-drenched indie rock with operatic vocal heights. A record of coastal restlessness, live-tracked energy, and anthemic, salt-sprayed melodies.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'windows down on the coast' album with vocals that will actually give you chills.

A restless, sun-drenched exuberance that masks a deeper sense of isolation and longing.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, anthemic release of the chorus in My Body where the vocals push into a raw, grit-flecked belt.
The cascading, interlocking guitar delay patterns in Strings that mimic the rhythmic ebb and flow of ocean waves.
The transition from the delicate, plucked intro of Cough Syrup into its sweeping, orchestral-tinged indie-pop climax.
