Bando Stone & the New World is the upcoming sixth studio album by American recording artist Donald Glover, under his stage name Childish Gambino, and the soundtrack album from his upcoming film of the same name. Scheduled to be released on July 19, 2024, through RCA Records, it is Glover's final album under the Childish Gambino moniker.[1]
The album's lead single, "Lithonia", was released on July 2, 2024.[2] It is a guitar-driven rock song named after the city of Lithonia in Georgia.[3] Abby Jones of Stereogum described the song as "dramatic" and "rock-heavy".[4]
Background[edit]
During a Gilga livestream, Glover revealed that following Atavista, a tentpole film from Gilga titled Bando Stone in the New World would release, with its soundtrack acting as the final album under the moniker of Childish Gambino.[5][6]
The trailer for the film was released on YouTube on July 1, 2024, showing Glover taking on the role of Bando Stone, a singer-turned-mailman stumbling into a post-apocalyptic world before teaming up with a woman and her daughter to fight prehistorical creatures and try to escape from an unexplained phenomena that seems to delete "chunks" of the world.[7]
