Young Jesus announce new album with Tomberlin collaboration "Ocean"

"Ocean" is the first taster of Young Jesus' Shepherd Head album, and lands with a Stuart McClave-directed video. The new single features additional vocals from Saddle Creek labelmate Tomberlin, marking her first outing since releasing her i don’t know who needs to hear this… album in April.

Shepherd Head will follow Young Jesus' 2020 album Welcome to Conceptual Beach. Founding member John Rossiter says of the recording process, "I would pitch things down an octave and add strange reverb. If a dog barked, I would isolate it and make it part of a beat. I recorded a voice singing on the street just walking by a storefront and autotuned it. Some guitar parts are just mistakes from voice memos that I chopped, stitched, and looped. I used sounds of rivers, people walking, friends talking. It was a lot of fun. I didn’t care about the fidelity of the recording. Whatever wanted to be in came in."
