Young Jesus announces new album, shares single “Ocean” ft. Tomberlin
Young Jesus has risen with a new LP on the way: Shepherd Head, out on Saddle Creek on September 16. But this time, instead of being a record with a full band, the album has frontman John Rossiter going solo. This record is said to be a "dramatic departure for the band, delving deeper into the themes that have always fascinated Rossiter—love, loss, and God—approached in a completely new direction." The recording process was also different, with Rossiter working on Shepherd Head for years, recording it on GarageBand with an SM57 microphone instead of heading to the studio.
