In Gang of Youths “Evangelist,” what starts off as a haunting and mesmerizing almost chant-like ooh’s and ahh’s quickly dissolves into a retro, 80’s, U2 sounding tune, along the lines of U2’s “New Years Day.”
With a mix of The Killers Brandon Flowers and U2’s Bono, the lead singer of Gang of Youth hits all the right notes as he belts, wails, and bluntly shares his feelings on life and more serious matters.
“I have made more friends in Hell than I have in Jesus land”
Clearly there is a strong deepness to the song that sets it apart from other retro inspired alternative tunes on the radio today.Frankly it’s a breath of fresh air, and I guarantee you that before 2014 is over Gang of Youths will be a household name.
