It&#8217;s been four years since Gang Of Youths, the earnest and anthemic Australian rock band, released their deeply personal masterpiece <a href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2176636\/gang-of-youths-angel-in-realtime\/interviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">angel in realtime<\/a>. But they&#8217;ve been posting teasers from the studio, they recently returned to the stage with a residency at no less a venue than the Sydney Opera House, and now a whole new Gang Of Youths song is finally here.<\/p>\n<p>The band returns today with &#8220;Things Take Time.&#8221; It&#8217;s easy to read the title as a nod to the long layoff between albums, but Gang Of Youths say it&#8217;s about &#8220;the endless loop of birth, growth, death and rebirth which encases all matter and energy.&#8221; The track merges a musical lightness with emotional heaviness, leaning into the softer side of this group&#8217;s sound and teasing out fresh dimensions through orchestral accompaniment. It&#8217;s sort of like U2 doing David Gray, which is not something I thought I&#8217;d be typing today.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to core band members David Le\u2019aupepe on vocals and piano, Tom Hobden on violin, Donnie Borzestowski on drums, and Jung Kim on guitar and keyboards, &#8220;Things Take Time&#8221; features Andrew Burgess on bass guitar, Nick Etwell on trumpet, Dave Williamson on trombone, and Klara Schumann on cello. Listen below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Things Take Time&#8221; is out now via Sony Australia\/RCA\/Arista.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not so youthful anymore, are they?
