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...
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
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) 10 Albums Counting Crows' Adam Duritz Thinks Every Music Fan Should Own
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?
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.
