Young The Giant Takes On 2017

Home of the Strange was released in August, marking the rock band’s third studio album.

Along with the new tour dates, today Young The Giant released a stripped-down version of the track “Amerika” as part of the band’s acoustic series In The Open.

“‘Amerika’ is one of the first songs we wrote for Home of the Strange, and was subsequently one of our first releases. Based off Kafka’s unfinished novel, Amerika is the story of an immigrant who finds himself both enthralled and spurned by the American Dream. This is also my story,” frontman Sameer Gadhia said.

“I am the son of immigrants, and our family finds this dream simultaneously on the tip of our tongues and impossibly intangible every single day. In the wake of this election outcome, we feel that this song, in one of those rare moments of prophecy, has even more to say now than when it was first released.”
