In November 2017, Young Fathers announced that theyd completed work on a new album. The trio – Alloysious Massaquoi, Graham G Hastings and Kayus Bankole – marked the news by previewing a brand new song, Lord and a subsequent accompanying video. Just like their previous standalone 2017 single Only God Knows (written for the Trainspotting T2 film and described by director Danny Boyle as “the heartbeat of the film”), Lord provided an enticing glimpse of what to expect from Young Fathers third full album; something typically unique and exhilarating, but leaner, more muscular and self-assured than ever before.
Today, Young Fathers announce full details of that album. Titled Cocoa Sugar, the twelve track album will be released on 9th March 2018 via Ninja Tune and follows the group s previous two albums; 2014s Mercury Prize-winning DEAD and 2015s White Men Are Black Men Too. Written and recorded throughout 2017 in the bands basement studio and HQ, Cocoa Sugar sees Young Fathers operating with a newfound clarity and direction, and is without doubt their most confident and complete statement to date.
