• “Young the Giant” is the debut album by American indie rock band Young the Giant. The band began work on the album with Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli, engineers Lars Fox and Ian Kirkpatrick, and mixer Michael H. Brauer in early 2010. Young the Giant lead singer Sameer Gadhia described the album as having a “summery, kind of an Orange County sound.” Songs on the album include the U.S. single “My Body“, which reached the top five of Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart; “Apartment“, the first international single; and “Cough Syrup“, which was originally recorded for the 2008 EP Shake My Hand when the band was known as The Jakes. The album features live track recording, which the band had never previously attempted. Drummer Francois Comtois noted that working with Chiccarelli for the sessions “was incredibly intimidating, but he kicked our asses into shape.” Gadhia also recalled the experience: “We were criticized in ways we had never even thought of, and were constantly pushed to reach the next level. Looking back on it, […] he shaped us into better musicians, performers, and songwriters.
