Young the Giant's 2014 Studio Album Mind Over Matter Reissued for Its 10th Anniversary Edition on 2LP. Includes Bonus Tracks.
For their 2014 second album Mind Over Matter, Young the Giant enlisted Grammy-nominated producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen - known for his work with such diverse artists as Beck, Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, and M83. Anchored by the electrifying lead single “It’s About Time,” the 13-track double album finds the young band challenging themselves both lyrically and musically. "There's a constant motif of paralysis throughout the record, and the idea that that could mean different things," frontman Sameer Gadhia told Rolling Stone." There can be this gentle numbness, like a warm feeling. There could be a negative feeling, like not being able to move because you find yourself in this continuous rut. And then there's just, objectively, paralysis – this thing that exists and is there for anyone...That became the concept for the record: The obstacles one creates for themselves are the only things that can really destroy you."
