Young Fathers return with first new single in four years "Geronimo"

"Geronimo" is Young Fathers' first outing since 2018's double a-side single "Cocoa Sugar" and "Border Girl" and their 2018 album Cocoa Sugar, which won the Scottish Album of the Year Award the same year.

Young Fathers say of their new single, "A good time trying. That’s what Ma said, she was smiling, but it was meant as a warning."

"It’s a track about contrast, because life is contrast - pushing through, giving up, all at the same time," the three-piece continue. "Wanting everything and then wanting nothing, then wanting everything again. It’s kind of reflective of where we are at the moment, trying to remember how to do this again. Trying to make music and all of the other stuff that comes along with it. Trying to forget all the bad bits, just trying to get somewhere. And that’s where we are right now, trying to get somewhere."

Young Fathers add, "It’s the tenderness in toil, we had expelled a bunch of stuff with a lot of drive and wilder energy beforehand but this one had focus. It widened the scope again for us personally, that’s where the real high comes from. We grew another arm. We surprised ourselves."

They conclude, "So coming back with a track called "Geronimo" feels quite fitting. Just the three of us again, but still in a fucking basement."
