Earlier this year Yung, the Danish indie rock Band To Watch led by Mikkel Holm Silkjær, released their first song in three years, “Progress.” Today they’ve returned with news of a new album, as well as another track. Yung will release Ongoing Dispute, their first album since 2015 debut A Youthful Dream, in January. The announcement comes with visuals for “Above Water,” a hard-strumming, mechanistic rocker the group says is inspired by Yo La Tengo. Here’s their statement:

For a long time we referred to this song as “The Yo La Tengo Song.” Finishing “Above Water” helped spark a curiosity towards a less obvious approach to songwriting. Originally, the song had a different ending but our friend and producer Neil R. Young swept in with a slick outro, which concluded the song in a big way. Lyrically, the song is an ode to individuals taking a stand against injustice and structures in society which oppose equality. These people often become the voice and the talisman of movements and generations, something that might come at a personal cost, but nonetheless something that makes way for dialog, discussions and hopefully positive change.

Check out the “Above Water” video below.
