Young Jesus have announced the release of a new album, Shepherd Head, due out on September 16 via Saddle Creek. They have also shared a video for the album’s lead single, “Ocean,” which features Tomberlin. View the Stuart McClave-directed video below, along with the album’s tracklist and cover art.

The band’s founding member, John Rossiter, elaborates on making the album in a press release: “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.”

Young Jesus’ previous album, Welcome to Conceptual Beach, came out in 2020 via Saddle Creek.
