New Young The Giant (Jakes) Single

YOUNG THE GIANT
“I Got”
* * *

Don’t let the name change fool you. The new single by Young the Giant has every quality that defined the striking singles they cut as the Jakes--the pearly guitars, the psych-pop haze, the male-Nico vocals. Sure, the lyrics are a bit heavy, so it’s best to focus on the music on this one. It’s a fine tropical cocktail of sunshine and quirkiness. Just imagine if the dude who runs that beachside taco stand in Santa Cruz cut a single with those freaky hippie dudes on the far side of the beach and you’ll get an idea.
