Chasing Ghosts Encourage Accountability And Behavioural Change With New Single, 'My Bingayi'

Naarm/Melbourne indie punk outfit Chasing Ghosts have returned with a new single, sharing My Bingayi as the latest taste of their forthcoming album, Therapy.

Set for release on May 16, Therapy is the first large-scale body of work from the group since 2021’s Homelands EP, which was in turn followed by the Homelands Unplugged record in 2023. They’ve been far from quiet, however, with frontman, songwriter, and Thungutti man Jimmy Kyle performing frequently and writing prolifically.

In 2024, they returned with singles such as Amnesia Everybody and Ten Feet Tall, and have now burst into 2025 with latest track, My Bingayi – a tune which captures the musical essence of Chasing Ghosts and pairs it with Kyle’s impactful songwriting.

With a strong focus on accountability, My Bingayi is a pivotal point in the Therapy album, with its lyrics encouraging behavioural change through finding helpful strategies that can ultimately break the chains of trauma.

“My Bingayi was inspired by the confronting conversations with other men about their domestically violent past; challenging them to take accountability, to get professional help, and break the cycle of intergenerational violence,” Kyle explains “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.”

A vital piece of work in the Chasing Ghosts catalogue, the tune also comes accompanied by a music video which helps to contextualise the song’s meaning. Shot in Lutruwita/Tasmania, it’s an emotional piece of cinema which focuses heavily on the overlying themes of accountability and ties it in with the importance of culture in the pursuit of responsibility.

“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,” Kyle continues. “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,” he adds. “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.”

Chasing Ghosts will be out on the road next month in support of Clay J Gladstone, with shows scheduled throughout Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Tickets to those shows are available now.

Chasing Ghosts’ Therapy is released on May 16th, with digital pre-saves and physical pre-orders available now.
