Announcing the new Young Jesus album, Welcome to Conceptual Beach, out August 14th! Watch the video for "Root and Crown" and pre-order the super limited colored vinyl here.
Imagine a shoreline alone, carved from the continent, without land or water to border it, a rind of possibility, a moon-colored border between land and sea, knowing and unknowing. This is Conceptual Beach, a place John Rossiter, vocalist/guitarist of Los Angeles-based Young Jesus, describes as his long-time mental refuge, where he imagines himself living—like a medieval, stigmata-wrought hermit—all his needs for okay-ness finally met. But for the first time, he’s opening up and inviting others to join him there.
Young Jesus' new album Welcome to Conceptual Beach takes what was once a personal escape for Rossiter and, with the collaborative lead of bandmates Marcel Borbon (bass), Eric Shevrin (keys), and Kern Haug (drums), transforms it into a universal experience.
For the superfan and the curious alike, this is the band-curated entry point and career-spanning collection of songs from the one and only Rilo Kiley, who defined a generation and continues to influence indie rock to this day.
More than twenty years after its initial release, Rilo Kiley is releasing The Execution of All Things (Frozen Lake Edition) on April 25th to enshrine this pivotal indie rock album.
Today, The Faint are announcing reissues of two classic LPs: Blank-Wave Arcade (1999) and Wet From Birth (2004). Listen to the previously unreleased "Zealots (Unrealized)" here!
