Let Me Be Clear by Gang of Youths
Let Me Be Clear is an EP by Gang of Youths, released in 2016. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Strange Diseases”, on 1 list with a best position of #50.
Let Me Be Clear, Gang of Youths' first EP, arrived on 29 July 2016 through Mosy Recordings and Sony Music Australia, a bridge between the Sydney band's debut album The Positions and its follow-up Go Farther in Lightness. Calling it a stopgap sells it short: five originals from chief songwriter and singer David Le'aupepe plus a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now", played by a band with Jung Kim on guitar and keys and Donnie Borzestowski on drums, all of it swinging for the rafters with big-hearted, sleeve-worn earnestness.
"Strange Diseases" went out first as the single, in May. The EP debuted at number two on the ARIA Albums Chart, kept off the top only by Human Nature's Gimme Some Lovin': Jukebox Vol II, before sliding out of the top 100 within weeks. It still earned a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 2016 ARIA Music Awards, where it lost out to Violent Soho's Waco.
