Gang Of Youths play a Sofa Session for Jo, including music from their forthcoming new album 鈥榓ngel in realtime鈥�, which is out 25 February 2022.
Gang of Youths say, 鈥淭he album is about the life and legacy of Dave's father, indigenous identity, death, grief and God. And also the Angel, Islington.鈥�
Despite and indeed because of frontman Dave Le鈥檃upepe鈥檚 father鈥檚 absence, his influence permeates every talking point that the album offers. At times it鈥檚 solely focused upon the precise, personal experiences of loss: the dichotomy of intensity and peace that comes as someone passes through their final days; the overwhelming feeling in the wake of their death that life will never be the same, even if the rest of the world at large remains utterly unchanged.
Le鈥檃upepe says, 鈥淚 hope the record stands as a monument to the man my father was and remains long after I鈥檓 gone myself. He deserved it.鈥�
Gang of Youths are: Dave Le鈥檃upepe (vocals, guitar), Max Dunn (bass), Jung Kim (guitar, keyboards), Donnie Borzestowski (drums) and Tom Hobden (keyboards, guitar, violin).
