The upcoming record by Young Jesus. On The Whole Thing, which takes its name from the late painter's words, Young Jesus combines a palette of indie rock instrumentation with a spirit of unhindered spontaneity to construct_and deconstruct_emo-tionally potent and inventive sonic landscapes. Imbued with a sense of both desperation and discovery, each track unfolds like a deep sea voyage: beginning on the familiar ground of a conventional song structure before setting sail for the open waters of instrumental experimentation and plumbing the depths of the unknown in search of some conceptual treasure before heading back to port.
