YOUNG FATHERS

Kayus Bankole, one third of the Mercury Prize winning Scottish band Young Fathers, is on the phone from the studio in Edinburgh where the reception is, in his own words, “pretty shite.” But he’s battling through to talk about the trio’s third album, Cocoa Sugar .

Having debuted the Mercury winning in 2014, and in 2015, not to in 2011 and Scottish Album of the Year winner in 2013, a new release is not uncharted territory. If he’s nervous, Bankole doesn’t let on. “You create something, you put it out there, and you hope people enjoy it.”
