Young the Giant's Victory Garden is an ode to radical empathy—a record that finds the Southern California rock band at the height of their powers, reconnecting with the raw energy of writing and recording as a unified creative force. Over fifteen years, the multi-platinum group has become one of the most consistent and influential rock bands of the 21st century, and this sixth album marks a significant moment of artistic clarity and confidence.
Victory Garden was written largely during retreats in Idyllwild and Joshua Tree, then produced by legendary hitmaker Brendan O'Brien (who's worked with Springsteen, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden) at Henson Studios in Hollywood. The result is a cohesive, prolific experience that showcases the band's songwriting at its most immediate and their collective performances at their most intuitive—a statement album that signals a new era of creative fertility for Young the Giant.
