2023 Best Abums Series
One of the most interesting, thought-provoking bands around right now,
Young Fathers borrows a little bit from a lot of genres—hip hop, mbaqanga,
alt-pop, noise pop, punk, gospel, to name a few—for something that is truly
avant. It's not worldbeat so much as out of this world. The Mercury Prize-
winning Edinburgh trio has described their fourth album, Heavy Heavy, as
being both about the "smooth granite of bass that supports the sound" and
the "natural progression of boys to grown men and the inevitable toll of
living, a joyous burden." That message is delivered fully formed on
"Geronimo," which somehow manages to simultaneously invoke the
mischievous power of early TV on the Radio and U2 circa Zooropa. "Breathe
in like a lion/ Breathe out like a lamb. Got the feeling that I'm caught in a bind/
Being a son, brother, uncle, father figure/ I gotta survive and provide."
Massive "I Saw" sneers the verses ("A bad seed/ A rotten apple/ Take out
the rubbish/ Buried in between justice/ Holier than thou") before the calm but
determined chorus slips in: "I saw what I saw/ I keep on walking the line." The
band—which once got kicked off a music festival for supporting the anti-
Palestinian-oppression BDS movement—has described the song as a
metaphor for "a big bully with shite down their leg, still swaggering … the
stench of [a] long-dead empire, trudging along … " The lyrics also offer a
pragmatic panacea to jingoism: what sounds like children chanting "Brush
your teeth/ Wash your face/ Run away." "Drum" is a breathless dismantling
and reconstruction of hip hop, an immersive swirl coming at you from all
angles with alternating on-and off-time kick drum. "Tell Somebody" is like
some ethereal choir hymn, complete with a god-light moment, that's either
repetitious or meditative depending on your point of view. Captivating
"Ululation" builds around the celebratory female howl of the title and blends
Arabic cheer with New Orleans' carefree, high-humidity joy—two cultures
that find the full-circle beauty in death. And as for that granite bass? It
sounds like a sonar on the jubilant "Rice" and agitated "Sink or Swim," which
adds a third option to an old adage: "You either sink or swim or do nothing."
Closer "Be Your Lady" is like three different songs—piano soul, tribal metal
thump and spaced-out funk— in a seamless relay that might make Frank
Ocean jealous.
