Listen to This: Young The Giant — Mind Over Matter

Young the Giant is a band I had never heard of before today. I really wish I had been made aware of their existence a long time ago!

Mind Over Matter is their latest album, and I’m absolutely loving it. I have never heard a band make a 7/8 dance track, but Young the Giant opens the record with it on Anagram, and the upbeat tempo continues through the album.

Mind over matter manages to create a perfect mixture of dark lyrics and light instrumentals, never falling into the indie rock trap that pushes negative emotions over musical joy. There is great feeling behind the tracks, but it’s not overbearing.

Album highlights:

- Anagram

- It’s About Time

- Daydreamer

- In My Home

The whole album is available for streaming on the Young the Giant Soundcloud.

I used to put more depth and time into my music reviews, but I honestly just want to share the music with you. I want you to listen and enjoy the same things I listen to and enjoy. So I’ve paired down how much I write about music, not just to get you to the juicy sounds faster, but also to make writing about music a little less daunting for me. Enjoy!
