Landlady b/w Optometrist is Young Mammals’ first release since their debut Carrots, an exciting peek down the road ahead. It’s out March 10th, 2012 on Bombs By Mail, and available for pre-order from YM’s bandcamp. More info on the release can be found at sippycupeverything.com/youngmammals, but take a moment to listen to the Steve Christensen-produced, Sarah Register-mastered “Landlady” above. It’s mighty.

Those in San Francisco will be able to catch the band 8pm on February 25th at Cafe du Nord, when they perform at the 20th Annual Noise Pop Festival.

YOUNG MAMMALS / Wires and Buttons.

Uma daquelas subestimadas bandas gringas.

Molecada lisérgica do Texas, recheada de entrecantos que caminham por entre o gutural e a suavidade de claves. O disco lançado em 2009, Carrots, poderia ser cria de alguém como a Flaming Lips. 

Zumbis em P/B.

Young Mammals “Dragon Wagon”

Fresh out of the oven is Young Mammals’ music video for “Dragon Wagon” from their Carrots LP. It was directed by fellow Houstonians Funwunce, whose name you may recognize from their Pitchfork and Stereogum-approved unofficial video for LCD Soundsystem’s “Home”. Its bare-naked simplicity puts a lot of pressure on the energy derived from the quartet and direction, and the collaboration works out like PB+J.

Young Mammals have two final CMJ performances, both on Friday:
10/22 FRI @ 4:20pm | Sippy Cup Everything Showcase @ Spike Hill
10/22 FRI @ 11:00pm | RethinkPopMusic Showcase @ Crash Mansion (with MiniBoone at 9pm)
