"Here they flaunt a new-wave sheen that flatters them, replete with nifty electronic sound effects. [Sameer Ghadia] developed an edge of paranoid menace reminiscent of Muse's Matt Bellamy. It's a sound that comes from both everywhere and nowhere." -Rolling Stone

"On their third record, Home of the Strange, the group ascends...dishing out their richest and most varied project to date." -EW

"The Southern California quintet buffer their passionate indie rock with polished production, resulting in their funkiest offering to date...the most exciting in  their discography" -All Music

"'Home of the Strange' is a sleek, catchy pop-rock record." -Boston Globe

Young The Giant's highly anticipated third studio album Home of the Strange is out today via Fueled By Ramen.   With much of the band being first generation Americans or immigrants themselves, the new album broaches the theme of American and immigrant identity. As lead singer Sameer Ghadia recently explained to NPR's Weekend Edition, "I think it's maybe my narrative as a first-generation American. We have a lot of ties to India and that heritage and the tradition and the philosophy, cultural practices. But then, you know, we grew up here...And so home of the strange, I think, is the
place in between those two places." You can listen to the entire NPR interview below.

The wildly adventurous Home of the Strange, the band's third, was produced by Alex Salibian (Elle King, Mikky Ekko) with 2016 Grammy winner for Producer of the Year Jeff Bhasker serving as the album's Executive Producer. Lead single, "Something To Believe In," is currently trending in the top 10 at Alternative radio, and quickly climbing the chart. The band recently performed the hit song on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
