“Peace comes out of chaos. The one thing that is constant is change.”  Jimmy Kyle, Chasing Ghosts


Today, Naarm Aboriginal led indie punk band Chasing Ghosts announce their new album Therapy, which arrives May 16, 2025 via Believe Music (digital) & Summit Distro (physical). Today the band also drop a compelling video for lead single My Bingayi (translates to My Brother in English and is pronounced My Bingeye).

Produced by ARIA nominated producer Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic, Redhook, Yours Truly, Sleeping With Sirens) and mixed by James Paul Wisner (Paramore, Underoath), My Bingayi is a song inspired by confronting conversations with other men about their domestically violent pasts, one of Therapy’s touchstone moments.

About the new single Jimmy Kyle states; “My Bingayi was inspired by the confronting conversations with other men; challenging them to take accountability, to get professional help, and break the cycle of intergenerational violence. These interactions took place with men from all walks of life; mob, friends, and members of the music community. This is a conversation we must have, we can’t look the other way. This song is about accountability, behavioural change, preventing intergenerational trauma, healing, finding helpful strategies, getting professional help, and not normalising violence with silence.”

Regarding the video Jimmy Kyle mentions; “My Bingayi is a film clip rich in meaning, yet defined by one clear and compelling purpose; to continue the conversation on domestic violence prevention in Australia. The song encourages men—whether escalating violent behaviour or already involved in domestic violence—to change their actions. It also calls on all men to help prevent domestic violence in their communities by engaging with brothers, fathers, and friends. Culture plays a key role in fostering responsibility, accountability, and change, but it’s also vital that we all speak up and not stay silent.”

“My Bingayi video was filmed on the lands of the Palawa and Pakana people; the Tasmanian Aborigines and Traditional Owners of Lutruwita/Tasmania. To understand the story of our central character and the broader context, it’s important to note that in April 2023, UNESCO finally removed the 1982 document that had wrongly claimed Tasmanian Aborigines were extinct. This hurtful misinformation fuelled a myth in both Tasmania and mainland Australia, claiming that Tasmanian Aborigines were wiped out due to genocide at the hands of British settlers. For years, discussing these matters was taboo. “The Black War” in Lutruwita was the catalyst for intergenerational violence and trauma, and its profound impact still affects the people today, as it does in many parts of Australia.”

Chasing Ghosts have always been a band whose music has championed urgency in its messaging. Unbridled passion and fury meets honest storytelling and observations delivered by frontman and songwriter, Jimmy Kyle.

A Thungutti man who has emerged as one of Australia’s most important voices in recent years, Kyle’s lyricism has seasoned and matured beautifully since the release of Chasing Ghosts’ 2011 debut, Confessions From A Phone Booth. As a songwriter, Kyle marries introspection with boldness as his stories confront, deconstruct and illuminate the challenging realities of being an Indigenous Australian; while also championing human persistence, the ability to overcome, and the recognition of beauty in even the most flawed.

It is this sense of boldness that has made Chasing Ghosts a beloved live act and an exciting one to watch develop with each studio project. With the release of their new album Therapy, Chasing Ghosts reconnect with fresh perspective and attack some of their most personal and intimate material yet with cathartic strength. As the title intimates, Therapy has its links to music – the creation of a space where expression is unfiltered and allowed to explore areas of dark and light.

“The Therapy artwork concept was a collaboration between myself and multi-disciplinary artist Shal Allen; another First Nations artist, and a proud Bundjalung man.” says Jimmy Kyle

“The artwork is of the river system that breathes life into Thunghutti Barri (Thunghutti Country). It depicts what makes me, me and where I draw my resilience from, my home. In the foreground by stark contrast, an ominous contemporary neon title boldly casting both light and shadow across the artistic interpretation of the Macleay River; the many estuaries and creeks of my homelands.”
