It’s hard to believe it’s been over two years since Young Widows threw down the proverbial gauntlet of with their breakthrough album, Old Wounds. But here we are with a teaser of what’s to come from their brand new forthcoming album, In and Out of Lightness and Youth, due in stores April 12! This limited edition 7” single features the face-melting standout “Future Heart,” as well as an exclusive, non-album b-side, “Rose Window”. Recorded and co-produced by Kevin Ratterman (My Morning Jacket, Coliseum), this is a darker, moodier and more inspired Young Widows. Singer/guitarist Evan Patterson’s vocals have matured immeasurably, bringing an increased harmony and melodic presence to their trademark growling bass guitar, reverb-drenched guitar and commanding beats that made Old Wounds so memorable. Limited to 1,000 copies and housed in 1 of 3 different screenprinted cover variants, this morsel of what’s to come will be gone before you’re finishing reading this. “The perfect example of a band hitting their stride.” – Lambgoat / “Young Widows generously churn out some truly enjoyable noise while inflicting a few bruises in the process.” – Treble / “Young Widows have chosen the finest of raw materials to work with and managed to stitch them together with untold skill and ingenuity, carving out an ugly, brutish sound for themselves that’s taut, jagged and lumberingly powerful.” – Rock-A-Rolla. l RIYL: NIRVANA, TORCHE, MASTODON, NICK CAVE
