Gang of Youths - Go Farther in Lightness (August 18, 2017) Album • Page 12

They've been in the recording studio for a while according to their instagram, so I'll be staggered if we don't get anything from them at some point in 2021.

 

Daniel Ricciardo video teases new Gang of Youths music – Deepest Sighs - Gang of Youths fan site

Funny vlog showing them working on new music from back in October(ish). Without even hearing the full song I can already tell the O-OooO... part is going to a blast live. Whenever going to concerts can happen again...

 

If Riccardio isn't on the album it's a wasted opportunity tbh, he was in the studio with them!

 

It seems pretty locked in that he is based on that video.

 

sometimes I forgot just how good this band is and then I put on literally any song they've released and I'm like "oh. yeah"

new music soon pls

 

This is fantastic wow

 

No clue why I’m just now listening to them

 

In for a treat

 

I was the same. It's like why did I never give this a shot. One of my favorite bands now.

 

new album WHEN

 

If you think the album is good just wait til you watch their live show

 

Chills. I miss it.

 

and (not quite live but might be my single favourite moment in their discography so far):

 

That Middle East song and album is brilliant, an all time favourite of mine.

Gang of Youths are definitely a band that comes alive in the live setting, so much fun.

I sincerely hope they break through in America/Europe, they have done a mountain of touring and hard work to try

 

yeah, that Middle East album (the original 8-track version) is legit an all-timer. wish I'd liked their second one nearly as much, but oh well

 

I hear you, almost would have been fitting for them to be a one album and done band, with the one being perfect

 

On the subject of "Blood"/The Middle East, this cover by Mree might be my favorite cover ever, of anything.

 

Apparently they had Adam Duritz sing a bunch on their new album, then decided to scrap it and start over. (Assuming that one was pre-pandemic, since he wants to sing on whatever they've been working on over the past year)

Holy fuck, I want to hear that record.

 

that's wild lmao

 

I want a new Gang of Youths album. I guess this means more waiting. I think the album was originally about Dave losing his Dad. Maybe it was too personal to commercialize?

 

Does this mean no Daniel Ricciardo backing vocals on the new album?

 

I thought some radio posted a vocal section (stem?) from the album a while back

 

Fairly glowing endorsement, I tend to agree that Gang of Youths seem to have the entire package, they just need a touch of luck to fully explode.
