“”A leader in the Danish DIY scene”” – NPRMikkel Holm Silkjær, the frontman of Danish indie rock combo Yung, is finally set to release his long-awaited debut solo record as Holm – the first release with this solo project since 2018”s “”Dappled”” EP. Titled “”Why Don”t You Dance””, it”s a product of three years of writing and nearly six months of recording, it”s a gleefully varied guitar-pop record that veers between styles, from the fizzing energy of ”Descending” and opener ”Intelligent Moves” to the gorgeously melodic ”Like a Dog” and ”The Rope”, via the stately introspection of tracks like ”K”s Choice” and ”Back Home”. Recorded by Yung bandmate Tobias Guldborg Tarp (who co-produced alongside Neil Robert Young), Why Don”t You Dance is the sound of Silkjær stepping away from his group”s predilection for taut rock and roll and instead embracing a different side of his musical personality, one defined by his sharp ear for a hook, as well as – crucially – his burgeoning ability as an expressive lyricist. The record is out digitally and on black vinyl, green vinyl (indie store exclusive) & pink vinyl (Scandinavia exclusive) via PNKSLM Recordings (ShitKid, Les Big Byrd, Holy etc.).
