Young Jesus – “Boulevard”

The LA musician John Rossiter makes weird, idiosyncratic indie rock under the name Young Jesus, and he's on a bit of a run right now. In September, he released the standalone single "The Devil," his first music in a couple of years. He followed it with "Yesterday's Tomorrow" last month, and now he's got a wild new track called "Boulevard." "Boulevard" is Young Jesus getting funky. The track has a vaguely bluesy classic rock intensity, and it's driven by a monster country-funk bass-groove. Rossiter sometimes belts his words out in a heartfelt warble, and he sometimes warbles them in Auto-Tuned falsetto. It's one of those tracks where you can pick out tons of ingredients without being able to figure out why it works the way that it does. Listen below."Boulevard" is out now on Music Sounds/Saddle Creek.
