Ahead of their long-awaited new record's release next week, Scottish hip-hop experimenters Young Fathers have lobbed out another stellar preview.

The album follows up Mercury-nominated 2015 offering White Men Are Black Men Too . It was written and recorded in the band's own basement studio over the course of 2017.
Young Fathers have a bunch of live shows booked for spring, including their biggest UK headline date yet at the Roundhouse in London. Find out full details.
Tracklist:
- See How
- Fee Fi
- In My View
