Yung - Blankets

Picking up Iceage’s gauntlet, Yung are fast becoming one of Denmark’s most exciting prospects.

At first, blankets are the last thing you’d ever associate with Danish punks. Still, though, there’s a muffled, envelopey feel to ‘Blanket’. Yung have their clear touchstones - The Jesus and Mary Chain, early Wire, Teenage Fanclub - but in their own way, Yung make pop melodies sound deliciously twisted and euphoric.

‘Blanket’ leaps playfully up and down the fretboards, with lyrics dedicated to hanging out on the beach, feasting in the woods, and summer romance. Then, after all that reminiscing, frontman Mikkel Holm asks “do you remember me?” Picking up Iceage’s gauntlet, and fast becoming one of Denmark’s most exciting prospects, keep a beady eye trained on Yung.
