Gang Of Youths blur the lines between youth and adulthood in ‘The Man Himself’ music video
Gang Of Youths have shared a sepia-toned music video for their latest single, ‘The Man Himself’, embracing nostalgia by way of a choppy, yet entrancing visual aesthetic.The clip was directed by Joel Barney (who has also helmed the videos for Gang Of Youths’ recent singles ‘The Angel Of 8th Ave.’ and ‘Unison’) and is based on a concept by frontman Dave Le’aupepe. The segments of stop-motion animation were created by Mickey Mason, incorporating childhood photos of Le’aupepe.In a statement, Barney said: “Dave came to me with the idea of creating a video that incorporated the idea of a younger version of himself.
