How Gang of Youths Took a ‘Whole Different Approach’ With New Era
The Australian alternative rock group this week shared "Things Take Time," their first new music in four years.
The alternative rock band Gang of Youths, ARIA Award winners, have returned with their first new music in four years. Titled “Things Take Time,” the song is a mature, more mellow take on the band's earlier work, an evolution from the band's origins in Sydney's pub scene to becoming one of Australia's leading rock bands by 2017. The songwriting process for “Things Take Time” was a lengthy one, taking three years to complete, according to band member Jung Kim.
The album's lead, David Le’aupepe, described the lyrical content as a departure from past works, which often explored personal topics. Le’aupepe spent time in Hobden's studio in London, drawing inspiration from the surrounding environment. The single was produced at Decoy Studios in Suffolk, England, with engineering by Robert Sellens and Jung Kim, who also contributed guitar and keyboards.
The band's management has changed, now under Red Light Management in the U.K. under James Sandom and Al Mills. The band remains committed to their artistic integrity, ensuring their music is timeless rather than fleeting.
