Danish indie-rock quartet Yung have shared a third (and final) preview of their forthcoming second record Ongoing Dispute ahead of its Jan. 22 release via PNKSLM Recordings. “Friends on Ice,” the album’s closing cut, follows previous singles “Above Water” and “Such a Man,” while Ongoing Dispute is Yung’s first album since 2016’s A Youthful Dream.
“Friends on Ice” “came about as a consequence of [frontman and songwriter Mikkel Holm Silkjær] being challenged to strum the most difficult guitar chord he could come up with,” Yung explain in a statement. “This approach has since become a go-to suggestion to any kind of creative block we encounter. Like a one-card equivalent to Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies, it rarely works.”
