Gang Of Youths have given us the best news possible today - the announcement of their upcoming album ‘angle in realtime.’ (out February 25th, 2022) and a national tour!! PLUS released a new track from the album ‘tend the garden’.
“The album is about the life and legacy of Dave's father, indigenous identity, death, grief and God. And also the Angel, Islington.” Gang Of Youths. Although 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 Māori vocalists and instrumentalists. Le’aupepe says, “I hope the record stands as a monument to the man my father was and remains long after I’m gone myself. He deserved it.” The angel in realtime. tour presented by Handsome Tours, TEG Live and triple j will be held in Australia’s most spectacular arenas in July and August 2022, kicking off at Perth’s RAC Arena, then to Adelaide Entertainment Centre and Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, before heading to Melbourne’s iconic Rod Laver Arena. The band also return to Auckland and Wellington for their first Aotearoa headline shows in five years. This year has brought a lot of success to Gang of Youths and we cannot wait to see the guys live next year !
