The Young Mothers formed when Ingebrigt Haker Flaten moved from Norway to Austin, TX in 2009. He's now back in Norway, making The Young Mothers a Texas/Scandinavian group. The band's new single, "Better If You Let It," combines experimental jazz with hip hop. It goes on for ten minutes of improvised music that combines elements of Afro-groove and indie rock. Somehow, the song gets better when the lyrics drop out and it's just an instrumental, improvised groove. "Better If You Let It" is perfect for fans of jazz, and possibly even better for people that don't care for the genre. There's enough here from The Young Mothers to also draw in fans of indie rock and hip hop.
You can listen to "Better If You Let It" below. The album Better If You Let It is due out February 21 on Sonic Transmissions, and is available to pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on The Young Mothers, check out the band's website.
