I just got my hands on this one late last night. I gotta say, this record is much more expansively mature than anything else this kid has put out. Go check out the beautiful guitarwork and floating ambience of Ideas of Distance via Spinner.

The album is out now via iTunes

About a month ago we got Young Man’s first preview of his new album Ideas of Distance in the eurphoric floating melodies of “Enough”.

Today he released “Tired Eyes”, the second song from the new album. It’s a gorgeous and introspective track, fitting perfectly as a soundtrack to the oncoming transition from summer’s unyielding heat to the changing colors and cooler temperatures of fall.

Ideas of Distance drops September 27th. Preorder here

If you were like me and weren’t all too impressed by Panda Bears latest effort, here’s something that might be down your alley. I’ve posted about Young Man before and the similarities between his and Noah Lennox’s work is hard to ignore.

Young Man released his debut album Boy early last year, and now he’s back with it’s follow-up, “Ideas of Distance”. You can preview “Enough”, a new song from the album above.

Ideas of Distance is out September 27th via Frenchkiss

Song of the Day :: Young Man – Just a Growin’

cj mckinney — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 22:41:17 +0000

Apologies for the lack of postage. I was in Las Vegas for new years and didn’t have access to a computer.

Today’s song of the day comes from a lesser known act. Colin Caulfield is a mere 20 years old, hailing from St. Paul Minnesota. Recording under the solo-moniker Young Man. Caulfield, who is set to release his debut album, Boy later this year showcases a dynamic mix of perspectives and influences ranging from Panda Bear to Real Estate and even Grizzly Bear. Listening to “Just a Growin’”, its apparent this kid won’t be unsigned for very much longer. Someones gotta pick up this kid quick. Hes got a bright future ahead of him.
