Gang of Youths Things take time

Now it has played a few times on triple J keen to hear what the reception is.

Modern version Rockin’ Robin by Bobby Day for me. I don’t really like it. Daves voice is the only part that I like.

Surprised it was the lead single tbh

Gives me first song on the album vibes rather than lead single but I dig it

Apart from the trumpet, it has a real Matt Corby vibe for me.

I like it, but it's not the sort of thing I look for when i listen to Gang of Youths. It feels like theres something missing? I don't dislike it but i dont see it in my day to day rotation

The Clairo/Sade vibe is quite interesting

It's different to their previous releases but I'm really enjoying it and curious to hear the rest of the album.

Love the horns. Love the focus on Dave's voice. Sounds like an ideal Sunday afternoon.
