Since the new track is the first that we’ve heard from the upcoming album, it’s setting the tone for not just the record, but for the film as well. According to consequence.net, the trailer for Bando Stone & The New World was released last week, and will focus on Glover’s character, singer Bando Stone, as he navigates living on a tropical island against strange forces that seem to surround him.

While a release date for the upcoming film has not been revealed yet, we have one for the album. Glover shared that Bando Stone & The New World, the album, will be released for fans to listen to on July 19th.

In addition to the announcement of the album, Glover also shared that Bando Stone & The New World will be the last album that he released as Childish Gambino, as will any other music that he releases this year. To commemorate the end of this era, Glover is going on tour across North America starting this summer.
