Technically a sophomore recording (this group has previously released an EP under the band name The Jakes) these young musicians have released a self-titled album that sounds mature, original, and sure-footed. It is clearly the product of a band that will be filling concert venues and playlists for years to come.
Sameer Gadhia is a vocal force to be reckoned with. He is a dark-timbred baritenor with a wide and effortless range. He has an uncanny ability to blend energetic rock and legato jazz-esque vocals. His is one of those voices that helps Young The Giant achieve a distinct sound. He ranks as a personal favorite among modern male vocalists, together with the likes of Nate Ruess of the band Fun.
