Gang of Youths - Angel In Realtime (White Vinyl)

Gang of Youths' angel in realtime. is the Australian band's third studio album, a wide-ranging record shaped by grief, family history and the search for a fuller understanding of identity. Written in the aftermath of frontman David Le'aupepe's father's death, the album expands the band's large-scale alternative rock with orchestral textures, electronic detail and rhythmic ideas drawn from a much broader musical palette.

Rather than treating loss as a single theme, the record follows the questions that emerge from it. Le'aupepe's exploration of his father's life and Samoan heritage became central to the album, giving the songs a sense of discovery alongside mourning. Gang of Youths retain the emotional sweep associated with their earlier work, but angel in realtime. places that sound inside more intricate arrangements: strings, layered percussion, samples, choral elements and expansive production sit alongside guitars, piano and the band's arena-sized melodic instincts.

Originally released in 2022, the album arrived after the group had relocated much of its activity to London and marked a substantial new chapter in their catalogue. Songs across the record move between intimate reflection and dramatic crescendos, with Le'aupepe's direct vocal delivery anchoring arrangements that can feel both highly detailed and immediate. The album's scale makes the double-LP format a natural home for its long-form progression and densely constructed sound.

This edition is presented across two white vinyl records. For listeners drawn to emotionally charged modern alternative music, angel in realtime. is a substantial, ambitious Gang of Youths album that connects personal remembrance with questions of ancestry, belonging and the stories families leave behind.
