Los Angeles-based musician John Rossiter crafts quirky, idiosyncratic indie rock under the moniker Young Jesus, and he’s currently enjoying a productive streak of new material. In September he released a standalone single titled “The Devil,” his first new music in several years. He followed that with “Yesterday’s Tomorrow” just last month, and now he unveils a bold new track called “Boulevard.”
“Boulevard” signals a funkier side of Young Jesus. The track carries a blues-tinged classic rock heft, anchored by a thunderous country-funk bass groove. Rossiter alternates between a warm, heartfelt howl and a polished Auto-Tuned falsetto. It’s one of those tunes where you can hear a dozen influences, yet can’t quite pinpoint why they click so well together. Listen to it below.
“Boulevard” is out now via Music Sounds/Saddle Creek.
