Gang Of Youths - Compañero - Due 12/3/27

Gang Of Youths have announced their fourth studio album, Compañero, arriving March 12 2027, via RCA UK, alongside the release of the second single ‘Benny’s Video’.

Recorded in gobsmacking stereo with a hint of melancholy, ‘Benny’s Video’ will either blow you away or blow your eardrums out.

Following August’s single ‘Things Take Time’, the new single offers another taste of what’s to come from the acclaimed quartet. Marking a significant evolution for the band, Compañero finds frontman and primary songwriter David Le’aupepe looking beyond the deeply personal confessions that have defined much of their catalogue, embracing a broader approach to songwriting through vivid storytelling, classic Americana and an unexpected sense of euphoria.

A Spanish noun meaning companion, partner or comrade, Compañero speaks to the ideas of connection and shared experience at the heart of the record, while also reflecting its central preoccupation with mortality and the different ways death touches our lives. It signals a new chapter in the band's ever-evolving sound, one that finds Gang Of Youths confronting life's biggest questions with a different perspective.

Compañero is the band’s first new music since 2022’s Angel In Realtime, which was a Top 10 album in the UK, and #1 in Australia.
