Yung releasing debut LP on Fat Possum, playing SXSW & other US shows

Denmark’s Yung won us over at CMJ 2015, which they played just after releasing an EP. Now they’re releasing their debut album, A Youthful Dream, on June 10 via Fat Possum. The first single is “Pills,” a melodic dose of traditional-style indie rock that’s a little less punky than the way they sounded live. Check it out below.

Yung are coming back to the US for SXSW in March, and they’ll play a few other shows while they’re here too. Two are in NYC: March 25 at Shea Stadium with Captured Tracks signees B Boys and The Yin Yangs, and March 26 at Baby’s All Right with Slothrust and Diet Cig. Tickets for both are on sale now. All dates are listed below.
