Today sees the release of Gang of Youths‘ long awaited second studio album, GO FARTHER IN LIGHTNESS, securing triple j’s feature album of the week, impressive reviews from Beat, Kerrang! (UK), STACK, and The Music, Album Of The Week from Herald Sun, and a glowing five-star rating from Rolling Stone. Released through Mosy Recordings/Verge via Sony Music, GO FARTHER IN LIGHTNESS is available to stream and purchase here.
The sophomore album was recorded over a six week period in Sydney, before the band enlisted long time friend Adrian Breakspear to co-produce and engineer the record and Peter Katis, who mixed the album in the US and is responsible for The National, Kurt Vile and The War On Drugs.
Described as a healing record, GO FARTHER IN LIGHTNESS is a symbolic nod towards the optimism and kindness the band have found by surviving their various ordeals. This new record continues the work that has already so indelibly imprinted on fans across the world, and bears the scars of the band’s painful history while seeking to draw new lessons from their struggle to endure.
Attempting to compartmentalise the past five years into 16 tracks is no mean feat, but the band came away with songs which encourage listeners to persevere as they’ve tried to, empathising with those who’ve brushed up against death, suffering and loss every step of the way.
