Frontman David Le'aupepe pays homage to Singing In The Rain and Top Hat in Gang Of Youth's latest video, which was shot in just three long takes.

Gang Of Youths have unveiled the video for their In The Wake Of Your Leave single and it's quite magical.

The Australian rockers - who have made their new home in Islington, London - have shared the latest cut from their eagerly anticipated album Angel in Realtime, which is set for release on 25th February.

Its accompanying video os a creative collaboration between Dave Le’aupepe and director Joel Barney, which sees the band's frontman take to a set and dance to his heart's content.

Reminiscent of Singing In The Rain and Top Hat, the video sees Le’aupepe joined by dancers as they pay tribute to the golden age of the musical.

Director Joel Barney said: “When I first heard the track, I knew the video had to be larger-than-life. Dave came to me with a ‘Singing in the Rain’ meets ‘Top Hat’ concept that paid homage to the great musicals of the ‘50s and ‘60s. We wanted to merge elements of old school Hollywood with a modern edge.

"Using three long takes and the musical-like choreography gave the video a real theatrical feel. I knew Dave was a brilliant performer from working together previously, but we wanted to push him even further outside of his comfort zone. Of course, he nailed it.”

The band are also giving fans the chance to learn Dave's opening dance with a demonstration of it on TikTok:

In The Wake of Your Leave follows previously shared tracks The Angel of 8th Ave. and Le’aupepe's tribute to his late father, Tend The Garden.
