Adrian Younge’s work pulses with deep intention, blending the raw grit of vintage soul with the grandeur of orchestral arrangements.

A decade and a half in the making, this final installment cements Younge’s legacy as a leading expert of psychedelic soul and orchestral storytelling. This is more than a concert—it’s a moment in music history. Be there to witness it first

The Something About April Tour is the show I've always dreamed of bringing to life. Fifteen years in the making, the Something About April trilogy is my magnum opus; a body of work designed for the most cinematic and live experience.”

- Adrian Younge

SOMETHING ABOUT APRIL

The first installment in the Something About April trilogy set the standard for everything that has made Adrian Younge an in-demand composer. Younge became the sample source-point for many of hip hop's most acclaimed artists including Jay-Z, DJ Premier, Common and more.

Younge's live performance oozes raw, analog soul and the primal sonic edge of psychedelic rock, sitting nicely alongside Ennio Morricone’s best soundtrack work or Pink Floyd’s early catalog. LISTEN NOW


SOMETHING ABOUT APRIL II

Something About April II synthesizes the boundaries between dark American soul and classic European cinema. The album features an array of entrancing vocalists: Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Bilal, Raphael Saadiq, Loren Oden and Israeli star, Karolina who delivers haunting chants over concertos.

Younge is the experimental spirit of the modernist vanguard, looking into the past to create the future. LISTEN NOW


SOMETHING ABOUT APRIL III

"Something About April III is the album I wanted to make when I created the first album in 2011. However, I didn’t have the musical knowhow and experience to create the sound that was buried deep in my soul. Essentially, SAA III is the album that has taken me fifteen years to uncover and fully realize. From a cratediggers’ perspective, it’s the album I’ve been diggin’ for in the deepest crates of my soul. A lost album I finally found. I hope this LP resonates with you as much as it has for me.” - Adrian Younge LISTEN NOW
