TV network-meets-record label Adult Swim has shared a brand new single from Yung Lean. It makes sense they would release a Yung Lean single; everything about Adult Swim appeals directly to Yung Lean fans, from highly quotable series like Adventure Time and Robot Chicken to their musical partnerships with the likes of Flying Lotus. Yes, Adult Swim's finger has been well and truly welded to the cultural pulse of the 21st century and that shows no signs of slowing with future singles from Chromatics and Slayer in the pipeline.

Lean delivers a haunting, ghostly rap dirge that sounds almost gothic in its all-consuming choral grandeur, and he doesn't need too much introduction these days as his ever-growing, hugely loyal fanbase can attest. So rest assured that Yung Sherman's production on this one will more than satisfy your thirst for ice-cold trap beats, but there's also something more expansive, almost cinematic about this that could propel Yung Lean to the next level. What that next creative step will bring is anyone's guess, so let's just hope for more of the same.
