Richard Youngs lives with his family in Glasgow, Scotland. Since the release of his first LP almost 20 years ago, he has released a staggering amount of material, including last months ‘In The Vally Of The Ultrhits’  & more recently ‘Like A Neuron’ on Dekorder. He describes his forthcoming record ‘Under Stellar Stream’ on Jagjaguwar as “doomy hymnlike stuff”. Cant wait.
