Some music makes you go wild. Other music makes you turn up. Swedish artist and production duo Total Ape— Pär Almkvist and August Vinberg—might just make you go ape. Today the pair have released their debut single -and first on a major label as well- entitled ‘Young Gods’.

Exquisitely crafted, pop sensible through its hook, yet full of energy and rawness, ‘Young Gods’ is a banger at its core. Within its mainstage coat is a song layered with nuance in its delivery - it strikes a divine balance between shuddering trap gusto, a whacky Middle Eastern-inspired synth melody, and a hook, of quality rarely found in the dangerously saturated electronic music market - “Money is my mother, power is my father, fall down on your knees when you see me walk on water.”

“From the start, we wanted to do a song with a kids’ choir, but singing from a gangster rapper’s perspective,” grins Pär. “You can easily picture a god or an emperor spouting those lines. It’s a concept we loved from the beginning.”

‘Young Gods’ is out now on Warner Bros. Records
