It’s been a while since we heard from Young the Giant, and oh boy, their new direction might surprise you if you were were a fan of their pop-rock hits such as “Apartment,” “Cough Syrup” and “My Body” off their self-titled debut. On their new single, “It’s About Time,” their beachy, laid-back pop vibe has been traded in for crunchy guitar riffs and a rougher attitude. In fact, frontman Sameer Gadhia’s vocals actually might bring long-time fans back to the days when Young the Giant was formerly known as the Jakes. Whether or not you’re glad they’ve returned to their original sound, Young the Giant plans on coming back full-force with sophomore album “Mind Over Matter,” a record produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, and M83), Jan. 21 via Fueled by Ramen.

* post corrected to show that album is coming out on Fueled by Ramen
