Gang of Youths has released "Things Take Time," their first new music in four years. This single marks a significant evolution for the Australian alternative rock band, showcasing a more mellow and mature sound with orchestral flourishes.
The songwriting process for "Things Take Time" was extensive, taking three years to craft the three-minute song. This new era also signals a lyrical departure for frontman David Le'aupepe, moving away from intensely personal themes towards a different approach to songwriting.
Recorded in east England, the new material reflects an ambition for grandiose ideas but with a stripped-back approach focused on creating music that feels at ease. The band is also under new management, with Red Light Management, and has scheduled a brief run of Australian shows in August, including two dates at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.
