Young Fathers have shared new single “Rice,” the final single of their forthcoming album Heavy Heavy, due out on February 3rd via Ninja Tune. The track is the Follow-up from last year’s “Geronimo.”

“Tell Somebody” and “I Saw” – “Rice” reverberates with victorious defiance. With its gospel-style chants and the delicate percussive sound of wooden sticks and hand-claps, “Rice” proves another example of how Young Fathers so skillfully side-step any kind of musical boundary. To accompany the release, the trio continue their creative collaboration with 23 year old Austrian-Nigerian artist and filmmaker David Uzochukwu – allowing him to compliment the song with a visual that perfectly demonstrates the scale and expansive feel of the music.

Since the release of their two now-legendary mixtapes, ‘Tape One’ in 2011 and ‘Tape Two’ in 2013, the latter of which also won Scottish Album of the Year, Young Fathers have received non-stop acclaim from both fans and artists alike – receiving cosigns from the likes of David Byrne, Florence Welch, GoldLink, Sam Fender, Janelle Monae, Self Esteem and Danny Boyle who used 7 of their tracks in a unique composition for his sequel to Trainspotting.

n recent years, the band have performed multiple headline shows, including two sold-out shows in both New York and San Francisco, and toured with long-time collaborators Massive Attack, Florence + The Machine, LCD Soundsystem, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more.
