Young The Giant
Apartment

Roadrunner

WE SAY

Californian band Young The Giant's debut single Apartment will get a limited edition vinyl release on the Young & Lost label next month. Their debut album, produced by Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes), is out in May. Current US buzz track My Body is racking up radio plays and playlist additions and debuted at No1 on The Hype Machine. That's the next single in the UK, which will come after radio sessions with Dermot O'Leary on Radio 2 and Jon Kennedy on XFM. They'll play several live shows in the UK next month including Club NME and HMV's Next Big Thing. Apartment is one of several highlights on their album, which should find a warm reception in the UK when it arrives later this year.

London gig: February 4, Club NME, Koko NW1
