Young Man's "Fate (Houses Remix)" premieres at RCRD LBL; tour dates with The Walkmen


“Young Man is a true American success story of the modern age.”—Rolling Stone

“A promising new voice in indie rock.”—The Boston Globe

“It is…evident that this young man is, as the saying goes, wise beyond his years.”—AOL Spinner

RCRD LBL is currently premiering the Houses remix of Chicago-based Young Man’s “Fate” at http://bit.ly/LdqEMi. The original version of the track is featured on Young Man’s Vol. 1, out now viaFrenchkiss Records. The album has received critical praise with Esquire hailing frontman Colin Caulfield as a “dorm-room-pop whiz kid” while Filter notes that “Caulfield continues to showcase some seriously well-crafted shifts between proggy meandering movements and pop hooks.” Rolling Stone recently premiered the video for “Fate” at http://bit.ly/JYnmwL.

Produced by John McEntire (Broken Social Scene, Tortoise, Stereolab, The Sea & Cake), the new record is the second part of an album trilogy begun with 2011’s Ideas of Distance. Please see below for the complete Vol. 1 track list.

Young Man recently returned from a successful trip to SXSW, including performances at the Frenchkiss Records Showcase and the Hype Machine’s Hype Hotel. After touring throughout the past year with the Cold War Kids, Suckers, Givers, Fanfarlo, Oberhofer and Grouplove, the band returns to Chicago for a homecoming show at Lincoln Hall on June 26 before heading out for a pair of dates with The Walkmen; see below for a list of tour dates. The group is fronted by singer-songwriter and producer Colin Caulfield and includes Emmett Conway, Joe Bailey, Jeff Graupner and Darien Williams.
