RICHARD YOUNGS is regarded by many as a key figure of the British underground scene. Described by The Quietus as “a magus of the avantgarde”, the Glasgow-based musician moves between folk, avant-pop, improvisation and minimalist composition without ever submitting to the conventions of a single genre. Youngs’ expressive and charismatic voice has earned him comparisons with musicians such as Robert Wyatt, Arthur Russell and Bill Callahan. Sincere and moving, and marked by a purist beauty, his songs consistently move beyond the mainstream.
