Typhoon recently stopped by KEXP for a session. Watch here:
"Mighty, powerful songs whose instrumentation conveys big, bold joy ...
White Lighter takes the promise they've shown and delivers
completely. The uplifting melodies and rhythms that sway and swing,
mixed with lyrics about hopeless dreams and cold realities, works so
well." - NPR's All Songs Considered
Young Fathers is
a "mind-boggling chunk of orchestral pop ... this latest epic dives
into the group's enormous range: Morton's earnest vocals lead the
charge, his wondrous delivery flanked by left-field riffage, sudden
fits of silence, chirping backup singers, and triumphant horns - and
those are just a few of the sounds thriving inside 'Young Fathers.'" - Spin Magazine
"White Lighter
is built on the urgency of death and the beautifully fleeting nature of
life: Morton unspools his tortured poetry over lush blankets of sound -
pianos and guitars and multiple drum kits; horns and strings swelling
to angelic crescendos." - Paste Magazine
"[Young
Fathers] just grabs you right from the beginning. It jolts you. You
think, almost, it's by accident. But there's this huge and complex
sound coming from [11 members] ... there are these big, booming, sweeping, majestic pieces all in the same song. And the juxtaposition, to me, is very powerful."- NPR's Here & Now
Fans can purchase White Lighter at iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers:
