At times it’s solely focused upon the precise, personal experiences of loss: the dichotomy of intensity and peace that comes as someone passes through their final days; the overwhelming feeling in the wake of their death that life will never be the same, even if the rest of the world at large remains utterly unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing their recent singles, ‘the angel of 8th ave.’, telling of falling in love in a new city and making a home in another, and ‘the man himself’, a song created around a sample recording from the island of Mangaia in the Cook Islands that is about living without the guiding hand of your own father, and recently another offering, in ‘tend the garden’.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the album is eclectic - influences range from American minimalism and contemporary classical, to drawing upon the legacy of Britain’s alternative\/indie scenes, from drum ‘n’ bass to the most transcendent moments of Britpop -- it’s equally rooted in Le’aupepe’s Samoan heritage, with the majority of tracks featuring samples from David Fanshawe’s recordings of indigenous music from the Polynesian islands and the wider South Pacific. ‘angel in realtime.’ also features contributions from a cast of talented Pasifika and Maori vocalists and instrumentalists.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eLe’aupepe says, “I hope the record stands as a monument to the man my father was and remains long after I’m gone myself.
