Young Jesus is an indie rock band hailing from Chicago, later relocating to Los Angeles, that has made a name for itself with its dynamic fusion of art rock, improvisation, and philosophical lyricism. The group consists of John Rossiter (vocals, guitar), Kern Haug (drums), Marcel Borbon (bass), and Eric Shevrin (keyboard), and together they explore the bounds of rock while infusing intense emotional depth into their music. Their sonic journey is characterized by an inclination towards existential themes, long-form song structures, and a penchant for experimentation.

Since their inception, Young Jesus has steadily gained acclaim for releases such as "Home" and "Grow / Decompose," showcasing their capacity for poignant storytelling interwoven with a raw, yet polished sound. Three of the band's most substantial contributions to their discography are "S/T," an eponymous record that cements their signature blend of compelling narratives and sprawling instrumentation, "The Whole Thing Is Just There," serving as a testament to their elaborate musicianship, and the profound "Welcome to Conceptual Beach," which represents a high-water mark for the band's creative ambitions. The latter album especially highlights their deft balance of introspection and expansive soundscapes. Young Jesus continues to push the envelope with each release, daring their listeners to accompany them on a thought-provoking journey through their music.
