Gang of Youths have captured our hearts once again with the emotional single “the man himself”, from their latest EP total serene.

Frontman Dave Le’aupepe created this song to pay homage to his deceased father. “the man himself” takes us on a journey through Dave’s heart as he deals with this pain. He reflects on the impact their connection had on him and how he’s had to cope with no longer having him in his life. 

The combination of violin, atmospheric piano, and samples from field recordings of Indigenous Polynesian music create a mixture of grief and enlightenment that captures the experience of suffering through the loss of someone you love. 

Dave Le’aupepe commented, “If I ever have kids I’m not really sure how to raise them without my dad helping me out.”

This year has brought a lot of success to Gang of Youths as they’ve made their comeback with an elevated sound; showing everyone they’ve still got it. “the man himself” is another installment that shows us the extent of their talent and depth that’s gotten them this far. ​
