Sprawling Pop Rock from Gang of Youths

One of the great things about SXSW, despite the whining of DIIV, is that you get to make communications across the globe you wouldn’t have made otherwise.  Such is how I met our friend Meg, who pointed me to Gang of Youths, who will soon be relocating to the USA.  They’ve just released the following single, which is reminiscent of acts like Local Natives, though this group shows a bit more restraint in their songwriting, holding back where others have gone on to explode.  I like what the group is doing, and I hope you do as well; keep an eye out for them, as they’ll be making their way to the States very soon to warm your ears.
