Gang Of Youths Announce New Album Compañero: Hear “Benny’s Video”

Gang Of Youths returned from a long absence in August with the appropriately titled "Things Take Time." That song was our first taste of Compañero, the new album they're announcing today, fresh off the revelation that they'll play Coachella next year. The band says this collection of songs is preoccupied with mortality but arose from a period of relative peace and serenity in their lives. When it arrives in March, it'll be the first Gang Of Youths album in five years.Along with the album announcement comes a second single, "Benny's Video," named for Michael Haneke's 1992 film. It's a fast-paced, synth-powered track with a surging climax that will probably bring down the house when Gang Of Youths play it live. "You want a miracle, you gotta manufacture it," David Le’aupepe sings. Hear it below, where you'll also find the Compañero tracklist and tour dates leading up to Coachella.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhxbQxAUbgcTRACKLIST:01 "This Machine, It's A Classic"02 "Things Take Time"03 "YeYu"04 "Manilla '98"05 "Street Value"06 "Desert Life Museum"07 "Benny's Video"08 "Major Arcana"09 "Ants Control The World"10 "Which Side Of The River Are You On?"11 "Future Be Kind"TOUR DATES:03/17 - Boston, MA @ Royale03/18 - Brooklyn, NY @ Brooklyn Steel03/20 - Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club03/21 - Philadelphia, PA @ Union Transfer03/23 - Toronto, ON @ The Phoenix Concert Theatre03/25 - Detroit, MI @ Majestic Theatre03/27 - Chicago, IL @ Vic Theatre03/28 - Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line03/30 - Denver, CO @ Ogden Theatre03/31 - Salt Lake City, UT @ The Grand at The Complex04/02 - Seattle, WA @ The Showbox04/03 - Portland, OR @ Wonder Ballroom04/05 - San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall04/08 - Sacramento, CA @ Harlow’s04/09 - Indio, CA @ Coachella04/13 - Phoenix, AZ @ Crescent Ballroom04/14 - Las Vegas, NV @ Swan Dive04/16 - Indio, CA @ CoachellaCompañero is out 3/12 via Mosy Recordings/Sony Music Australia/RCA UK/Arista US.
