Gang of Youths announce Compañero and share Benny’s Video

Gang of Youths have announced their fourth album, Compañero, for March 12, 2027. The Australian band’s official website confirms the release date; Consequence and Exclaim! reported the announcement on November 11. New song Benny’s Video is available now. Its official player lists a running time of five minutes and eighteen seconds alongside the earlier Things Take Time.

The forthcoming album has an eleven-song tracklist. This Machine, It’s a Classic opens it, Benny’s Video appears seventh, and Future Be Kind closes the programme. Other titles include YeYu, Manilla ’98 and Desert Life Museum. Exclaim! identifies Michael Haneke’s 1992 film of the same name as an inspiration for the new single.

North American dates follow the album’s release, beginning March 17 at Boston’s Royale. Toronto’s Phoenix Concert Theatre is listed for March 23. General ticket sales are scheduled for November 20 at 10 a.m. local time, with presales starting November 18.
