Family of the Year Release New Song 'Make You Mine'

(Radio.com) Family of the Year aren't wasting much time on getting back into the studio. After providing the main song for Richard Linklater's Boyhood with 2012's "Hero" and finding a large audience for it during this year's Academy Awards, the L.A. indie rock group is taking advantage of the momentum.

"Make You Mine" is their latest song, which arrives perfectly as the temperature heats up. The balmy day track is a live-for-the-season ode with frontman Joseph Keefe singing, "All the boys, and all the pretty girls/ Summertime I'm gonna make you mine' Lie here forever but, for now, let's do forever."

It's a much more upbeat offering than "Hero," with Keefe's words rolling off one another and wavy guitar jangle throughout. The best moment comes near the end, when the tempo slows and Keefe lets out a plea: "If I can't have you, you don't know what I'm gonna do."

The track is slated to appear on Family of the Year's followup to their 2012 album Loma Vista, a self-titled record, due out Sept. 4. Listen to the song here.
