Watch: Young Jesus “Green” Video

Feb 24, 2018

TIme to shine on Young Jesus. The LA via Chicago band got signed to Saddle Creek Records practically immediately after reps saw one of their live shows and their third album and first on the label, S/T, came out in November and is now available in all forms. They just dropped the video for opening track “Green”. Watch the stop motion video below. Young Jesus is John Rossiter (Guitar/Vocals), Kern Haug (Drums), Marcel Borbon (Bass), and Eric Shevrin (Keys/Vocals).

Here’s some context from their bio:

Young Jesus mixes the emotional intensity of bands like Slint, Pile, and Built To Spill with the quiet contemplation of Yo La Tengo, Mogwai, and Laughing Stock-era Talk Talk. They give themselves to moments of aggression and volume, balanced alongside near-silence.

Influenced by the writings of Donna Haraway, Timothy Morton, Wang An-Shih, Wang Wei, Joy Williams, and Marilynne Robinson, singer/songwriter John Rossiter hopes for a making-do with what we have, a sometimes wide-eyed learning process. Life may be too massive to grasp, but that does not mean we should shy away from it. Rather, Young Jesus tries to look toward the complexity and imperfection.

Young Jesus will be celebrating the release of their record at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles next Wednesday.
