Toronto cousin duo The Man Who arose earlier this year with a compelling song named Bet On You. New single This High proves they have a knack for telling dark love stories with their gritty rock and sooty pop. The Man Who sweeps us away once again with a taut brooding burst of their genre defying hybrid sound. Their alt pop and stormy rock is also endowed with a riveting hip hop beat and garnished with a whole lot of vivid electronica. We’d rather not come down from “This High”, a powerful anthem reminiscent of other genre bending acts like Missio, The Neighbourhood, and Sir Sly. The Man Who says of their song:  “This track is about a high, and the way in which it can consume us to the point where nothing else matters. Whether it’s a drug high, an infatuation high or a plain old natural adrenaline high, we’ve all, at some point, experienced this intense feeling.“ You can also stream The Man Who’s music on Spotify, here.

We are cousins who began writing together in a basement, driven by a desire to challenge the boundaries between rock and pop. Our music reflects this experimental approach in its sound and tells the stories we have collected along the way.

I love this song so much, and it’s a must-listen when I’m writing. It hits the sweet spot of bittersweet yearning so perfectly.

She knows I'll let him in
