Gang Of Youths have released a new single and video.
The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadows is taken from their forthcoming sophomore album, 'Go Farther In Lightness', which is due out later this year through Mosy Recordings/The Orchard.
Discussing the track, frontman Dave Le’aupepe said:
“This song came about after I struggled with writer's block for a year, barely managing to etch out more than a single verse of something awful the whole time. I was walking home across the Brooklyn Bridge one night, questioning my place in the world, contemplating giving up music and doing something more substantial. I sort of felt that I wasn't doing anything that actually mattered. But I looked out at the skyline, all silvery and strange and in typical self-indulged frontman fashion, I began to revel in this moment of abandon, of self-hate. As a result, I think I stumbled across a kind life-affirming axiom; that in a cosmos potentially absent of meaning, and an existence devoid of objective value, I have an opportunity to invent my own meaning. We all do. We can ascribe meaning and value to our own lives and in a way, attribute great esteem and value to each other as a result.
All of us as adults, from youth to old age are drunk, stumbling around in the dark looking for a kebab. I'm scared and unsure, and I want to acknowledge this rather than repress it, or allow cynics to denigrate me because of it. So the song is about becoming more human, more aware and I guess in a way, more alive.”
The Australian indie-rock quintet will tour the UK and Europe this autumn. Tickets are on sale now.
