Gang Of Youths – “Tend The Garden”Gang Of Youths – “Tend The Garden”

Last month, Australian rockers Gang Of Youths shared a new song, “The Man Himself,” following up July’s Total Serene EP. Now, the band’s back with another new song, “tend the garden,” and an album announcement. angel in realtime will be out in February.

“The album is about the life and legacy of Dave Le’aupepe’s father, indigenous identity, death, grief and God,” Gang Of Youths say in a statement. “And also the Angel, Islington.” Here’s how Le’aupepe describes “tend the garden”:

My dad was a gifted and passionate gardener. It’s where he funneled a lot of his energy and sensitivity, and despite our humble surroundings, we were always surrounded by beauty. The journey he made from Samoa to NZ to Australia was a difficult and inspiring one, but also fraught with mistakes, regret and terrible choices. I like to think he was building something beautiful, and pondering what life had given him in spite of his mistakes and concealment. We never knew his story until after he died, so this is the most poetic interpretation of his affinity for gardening that I could think of.
