“MIND OVER MATTER” has already proven to be one of the most exciting albums of 2014. Upon its release at the top of the year, the album made a Top 10 debut on the Soundscan/Billboard 200 chart and received a raft of critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and USA Today among others.
The band has supported “MIND OVER MATTER” with a number of high-profile TV appearances including performances on the famed outdoor stage of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman, NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, and TBS’ Conan,. Earlier this year, Young The Giant completely sold out their North American headlining tour which included stops at the Hollywood Palladium, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, and a two-night stand at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom.
Following standout summer festival slots at Lollapalooza and Firefly, the band served as main support on King Of Leon’s North American amphitheater tour. “MIND OVER MATTER” is the follow-up to Young The Giant’s 2010 self-titled debut album, which featured hit singles including “Apartment” and the RIAA-gold certified smashes, “My Body” and “Cough Syrup.”
