7. Young Fathers – ‘Soon Come Soon’
Mercury Prize winners waste no time and release new material.
The Scottish alt-rap band move fast and even before they won the Mercury last month, they had plans to record a new album in Berlin. ‘Soon Come Soon’ is from the band’s time in LA, recorded with producer Daddy Kev. It’s an epic downbeat track that’s released today as a once-off single.
