We’re coming up on three years since Young the Giant dropped their last album, but in the meantime the band’s Eric Cannata and Francois Comtois are releasing new music under the name Coma Culture, along with Music Box Studios owner Jon O’Brien. Their debut album will be called Camouflage, and it arrives June 25 via Repost Network. The first single—also called “Coma Culture”—recalls the same beach-ready indie sound YTG has perfected, with a hint of Grizzly Bear and a little dash of existential dread mixed into the lyrics.
“‘Coma Culture’ is about facing the coping mechanisms we turn to as we seek meaning in our lives—uplifting instrumentals and verse lyrics give way to a chorus that borders on self-consciousness and oversharing,” the band explains. “It was written by Francois Comtois, on tour with Young the Giant, in a Saskatchewan hotel room during a polar vortex and brought to life at the Music Box Studios in Southern California right before the pandemic hit.”
Hear the single below.
