Texan quartet The Young have announced details of their second album ‘Dub Egg’, which is due for release on 7th May. It is the follow-up to their 2010 debut ‘Voyagers of Legend’ and the band’s first release for Matador Records following their appearance on the label’s compilation album ‘Casual Victim Pile’. New track ‘Livin Free’ is available to listen to at the Matador website.
Speaking about their new album, guitarist/vocalist Hans Zimmerman said: “We did the main tracking at the isolated Creekside Cabin in Vanderpool, Texas. We took a mountain of amps and guitars, 1” 16-track tape machine, loads of beer and holed up for five days in August. When we weren’t rolling tape we were fishing, barbecuing and playing horseshoes. Additional recording/overdub/mixing happened at our east Austin rehearsal space/studio ‘blood and guts’ where an Otari 8-track was employed for several cuts - purchased off an old cruise ship with ‘Casual Victim Pile’ money, by the way. The album was mixed and cut to tape by me, and was the first time I’ve ever done that. The title comes from a bizarre dream Kyle had involving the master tapes, an improvised King Tubby technique and a soft-boiled egg.”

Guitarist/vocalist - Hans Zimmerman
