A less-intense prospect than fellow Danish dudes Iceage, Yung’s debut pulled back on their earlier post-punk leanings for jangly garage-rock rasps that sat somewhere between Orange Juice and The Strokes. “Morning View” was downright lovely, and stylish frontman Mikkel .

‘Pills’ is taken from A Youthful Dream, the debut album Yung
released back in June , a new full length album out in June on the wonderful Fat Possum Records. The name of the album is A Youthful Dream.

Yung released their debut LP A Youthful Dream . To set the tone, today the Danish four piece has shared the album’s first single: “Pills,” a dreamy pop-punk lament of an heavily Rx-ed lifestyle.

“’Pills’ was one of the first songs I wrote for this album, and I’ve used the song as a sort of navigation point for what I wanted the rest of the record to sound and feel like,” Yung frontman Mikkel Holm Silkjær explained adding that, “Thematically, the lyrics speak for themselves. People think the key to sanity in modern day society is pills.”

We’re pretty partial to most things musical coming out of Denmark these days, and Yung is no exception. It’s essentially the project of Mikkel Holm Silkjær, a Danish DIY dude who’s been behind a drum kit since age four, thanks to his musically inclined father. And while any punk band can throw down some barre chords and do their best Paul Westerberg impersonation, Yung stands out for the moments of sweetness amidst the hard edges of distorted guitars.

YUNG – ” Uncombed Hair / Pills “

“Yung’s music is a space of innocence and experience, beauty and pain, darkness and light. Frontman Mikkel Holm Silkjær embodies opposites, too: His music showcases both his maturity as a songwriter and his youth, as he relies on more than a decade of songwriting experience despite being only 21. Both of Silkjær’s parents are musical; they put him behind a drum set at the age of 4 and introduced him to the local punk scene as a teen. Since then, he has become something of a leader in the Danish DIY scene, playing in gritty hardcore and punk bands and running a record label for like-minded local bands in his hometown of Aarhus, Denmark. Yung, however, is a more personal project for Silkjær, in which he steps away from the heaviness of earlier bands but manages to keeps his sense of urgency and angst.”
