"Do not let this thing you got go to waste
Do not let your heart be dismayed
It's here by some random disclosure of grace
From some vascular, great thing"

Gang of Youths with the emotive “The Deepest Sighs, the Frankest Shadows”, which echoes the moving and introspective indie-rock ballads of Gin Blossoms. The orchestration is cinematic, creating a soundscape that moves from the serene to heart-pounding. Meanwhile, Dave Le’aupepe takes us inside his mind and soul, as he reveals his everyday struggles of loneliness, depression, and anxiety.

Where Gang of Youths really demonstrate their sonic and lyrical mastery is when two songs seamless merge to from one unforgettable experience, and they do this twice. The first sequence is the cosmic duo of “L’imaginaire” and “Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane”. The former is a short instrumental that sounds like a lullaby, but it then gives way to the soothing, languidness of the latter. Despite the beauty of the song, its message is knee-buckling. Le’aupepe’s powerful vocals are turned into a whisper, as he tells an engrossing tale of a man who despite having nothing had everything. Then one day, his two treasures are forever taken away.

That delicate colour though is undercut by a glorious hit of alpha oils from Mosaic, Galaxy and Citra hops. Sometimes you don't want your mouth flayed raw and your liver worked to a standstill.
Sometimes a few luscious notes of mango, guava, lychee and pineapple can be just the thing.
