The Aussie rockers have released their long-awaited album Angel In Realtime. Watch Dave and Tom talk through the album with John Kennedy.

Gang Of Youths have released their much-anticipated third studio album Angel In Realtime and it was definitely worth the wait.

The band - made up of David Le'aupepe (lead vocals, guitar), Max Dunn (bass guitar), Jung Kim (lead guitar, keyboards), Donnie Borzestowski (drums), and Tom Hobden - have finally shared their immensely personal record, which pays tribute to Dave's late father and their adopted neighbourhood of London's Angel, Islington.

The album, which follows the release of 2015's The Positions and 2017's Go Father in Lightness, includes latest single Spirit Boy, Tend the Garden, In the Wake of Your Leave and lead track The Angel of 8th Ave.

Watch our video above, where Dave and Tom discussion the album with John Kennedy in a special track by track album playback.

Speaking of their upcoming record, Gang of Youths said: "The album is about the life and legacy of Dave's father, indigenous identity, death, grief and God. And also the Angel, Islington."

Frontman Le’aupepe said: "I hope the record stands as a monument to the man my father was and remains long after I’m gone myself. He deserved it."
