Young Guv “GUV IV” Is Out, “GUV II & IV” 2xLP Shipping Now
Young Guv (aka songwriter Ben Cook) has released his new album GUV IV. Out now via RFC, the album comes hot on the heels of Young Guv‘s previous full-length, GUV III, which just came out in March. The ever-prolific musician has amassed an impressive and wide-reaching catalog over the years and GUV III and GUV IV are the perfect place for new listeners to jump aboard.
Listen to GUV IV
Where GUV III captured Cook’s most instantly accessible guitar pop songwriting, GUV IV represents the most sonically adventurous side of Young Guv. The record (which has drawn early attention from the likes of Stereogum, NPR, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, Paste Magazine, and many more) effortlessly moves between hazy Madchester-inspired rave ups, twangy California jangle, and even homemade sophisti-pop, with Cook’s knack for melody always leading the way.
If you missed GUV III, you can now order GUV III & IV 2xLP. The official street date is July 15th, but vinyl is shipping from our warehouse immediately.
