Young Jesus’ new album (which they just recently announced, by the way, that’s why I’m talking about it) is named after a quote by the painter Philip Guston, who said, regarding his work, “What I’m always seeking is some great simplicity where the whole thing is just there.”
The Whole Thing Is Just There, the aforementioned new Young Jesus album, will be released on October 12. The whole thing is just going to be there…in, like 26 days.
According to a press release, The Whole Thing Is Just There was composed during a “creative outpouring” that followed the tour behind the band’s 2017 debut album, the technically-not-self-titled S/T.
And speaking of tour, Young Jesus have a HUUUUUUUGE spate of North American tour dates coming up, which you can peruse below. Perhaps yet another creative outpouring will follow?
For now, stream The Whole Thing Is Just There’s opening track “Deterritory” down below, and if you’re looking to pre-order the album on vinyl, digital, or CD…guess what? The whole thing is right here.
