Young Fathers – “Geronimo”
Edinburgh’s Young Fathers return after four years with a new song called “Geronimo.” The band’s description of the song is: “It’s a track about contrast, because life is contrast – pushing through, giving up, all at the same time. 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.” I’ve been following Young Fathers for some time and especially liked their 2018 album Cocoa Sugar. It looks like we’ll continue to hear good things from them.
