Everlast returns with Embers to Ashes, his eighth album and first in eight years; a raw, reflective collection that captures a life shaped by hard-won lessons, sudden turns, and moments of both triumph and loss. Produced by Yelawolf, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge and recorded in Nashville with contributions from songwriter David Ray (Jelly Roll, Teddy Swims), the 2026 release finds him at his most unflinching and emotionally direct.Everlast is familiar. It’s not just that he recorded one of the biggest breakout hip-hop hits in history - 1992’s “Jump Around” with House of Pain - or that he made the empathy anthem “What It’s Like” from his triple-Platinum Whitey Ford Sings the Blues. It’s not the GRAMMY nominations or his win with Santana. It’s the way he redefined rap’s relationship with blues and rock, and the humanity he’s always brought to that sound. For more than three decades, he has documented life as he’s lived it - from humbling highs to devastating lows — and on Embers to Ashes, that perspective cuts deeper than ever.

On their new album Nine, Russian Circles hone their unique trajectory of crafting seismic long-form, album-oriented soundtracks to tragedy and redemption. While the trio insist that their music is a confluence of broad-ranging influences, it’s fair to say that Russian Circles’ adventurous diversity has developed into a distinct and singular sound. For Nine, Russian Circles adhered to the strategy established on Blood Year (2019) and Gnosis (2022) by teaming up with engineer Kurt Ballou (Converge, Mastodon, High on Fire), conducting basic tracking at Electrical Audio in Chicago. The result is an album that continues their unhurried evolution and disciplined refinement, leaning into their collective strengths while pushing at the boundaries of their sound. Whereas earlier albums were almost playful in their traversing of territories, Nine is a document of a band that knows the lay of the land and is fortifying their dominion over the varied terrain.

For more than forty years, The Jayhawks have created music that embodies the enduring spirit and soul of classic American songwriting. The Jayhawks emerged from Minneapolis in the post-punk era of The Replacements, Hüsker Dü and Soul Asylum. They pioneered today’s Americana movement through a series of classic albums that introduced rock audiences to their unique musical stew of country, folk, soul, Britpop and rock 'n' roll. The band has played most every major music festival, from Farm Aid to Primavera Sound, Pinkpop to Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky. In the tradition of The Band and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Jayhawks have toured with and served as backup band for many of music’s most acclaimed visionaries, including Ray Davies, Roger McGuinn, and Johnny Cash. Today, Gary Louris, Marc Perlman, Karen Grotberg and Tim O’Reagan continue to record and tour worldwide. Over 12 studio albums and three live albums, The Jayhawks are still building a legacy of music that stands the test of time.The band once again teamed up with legendary producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed) to create their upcoming album entitled Sanctuary Park, set to be released late summer 2026.

With her new album Trespasser, Grace Potter introduces a beautifully unruly cast of characters who step into forbidden spaces with absolute abandon. As the spiritual sequel to 2023’s Mother Road, the four-time Grammy nominee’s seventh studio LP continues the kaleidoscopic storyline shaped by her many road trips from her Topanga Canyon home to her part-time residence in her native Vermont (a journey she’s made eight times in the last five years, usually on her own). But while Mother Road was born from a despProduced by her husband and frequent collaborator Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, Slash) and recorded in a cross-country journey beginning at her home in Topanga with Benmont Tench, continuing in Nashville with Mother Road session players (members of Cage the Elephant, Kings of Leon, and Train), and completed in Vermont with members of her longtime live band, the album echoes its origins with a wayward sound that spans from stripped-bare soul to cosmic country to hellraising rock & roll—all“We’ve always been taught that the trespassers are the bad guys, but to me it’s not about reckless rebellion,†says Potter. “It’s about exploring, physically and mentally and emotionally, and being willing to step outside the narratives we’ve accepted. Because in my experience, the places we’re told not to go are exactly the ones that show us who we really are.â€GRACE POTTER / TRESPASSER (Indie Retail Exclsuive) [Translucent Light Blue]

Michigander – the acclaimed indie rock project led by Nashville-based singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jason Singer – has announced his sophomore album Over Before You Know It, out Friday, July 31 2026 via Totally Normal Records / Thirty Tigers.
Jason Singer thought his 2025 full-length debut as Michigander would change everything about his life and work. During the prior decade, after all, Singer had cobbled together the start of a successful career as an incisive and infectious songwriter from the stuff the music industry considers scraps—a half-dozen singles and a quartet of EPs, collectively suggesting he was one of indie rock’s sharpest new tunesmiths. The debut album Michigander felt only like the upper lip of the plateau Singer had been climbing for a decade already. So what, he wondered, was he supposed to do now? The answer that came back was obvious: Keep writing. 'Over Before You Know' It is the magnetic and relatable result of that work and the broad but detailed view from the top of that plateau. Across 10 songs written and recorded quickly with a crew of close friends at home in Nashville, Singer mixes self-criticism with music industry sendups, sad-eyed contemplations with unguarded love songs, offering up the things that almost stopped him and those that now keep him going with a rare admixture of candor and catchiness. This, it turns out, is the level up. Above all, it is all a vehicle for Singer to think about becoming the person he still wants to be, for being grateful enough for what he already has to keep going. To be there is to be human. It’s not necessarily about being content but at least about not breaking your back or brain over the things you have yet to accomplish. Sure, it’s over before you know it. But it’s over a lot faster, Singer has now realized, if you don’t take time to enjoy whatever it actually is.

Red Vinyl, Gatefold Jacket. Eartheater's seventh album, Heavenly Body: If I'm the Bottle You're the Message, is as personal as it is universal. Exploring the pregnant body as a vessel for something greater than itself, it's an intimate look at what it means to carry and birth another human. It's a record of deep introspection, peeing in cups, and pregnancy sex. A mix of dance lullabies, post-wave bangers, prismatic anthems, and stadium-stretching art-pop, Heavenly Body offers a new chapter in Drewchin's already deep discography. While it's the singular experience of one woman, versatile composer, singer, producer, and multi - instrumentalist, Alexandra Drewchin, Heavenly Body explores the feelings other people have experienced, in other ways, without having to be a parent.

To hear Kurt Wagner tell it, Punching the Clown - the seventeenth album by beloved shapeshifting Nashville institution Lambchop, out August 21, 2026 on Merge Records and City Slang - began as a ghost hunt. After hearing a song on the radio while driving one night - "a minimal single chord strummed banjo and a small group of voices" - he went looking for it and failed. In his pursuit, he discovered "lined-out singing, " a form of acapella call-and-response gospel singing that began in Scotland in the 1800s and became a root of American gospel and country music when Scottish immigrants settled in Appalachia. The song, typically a hymn, is led by a clerk, who begins the verse alone before a choir swells up to accompany them on the rest of the line. Lined-out singing was born out of necessity - not every member of a given congregation could read, so the clerk's voice spurred the choir's memory of what came next in the hymn - but it's effect is profound: a haunting, elegiac means of interpretation in which you can hear not only the words and what they mean, but what those words meant to each person singing them. a spontaneous call and response type of acapella singing led by a clerk with a chorus of singers revealing the raw beauty and power of the human voice with it's unique varieties it's unadorned simplicity gave weight to the words as they were sung. i wanted to make a record that emulated this kind of music.Wagner says that doing so required him to become a better songwriter. The process was a crucible. Working again with guitarist Andrew Broder, Wagner went back to writing songs the way he did when he started out, with guitar and voice, studying songs and songwriters, "allowing their madness, pain, and truth to become mine." Of the dozens of songs Wagner and Broder wrote, 30 were considered, and 12 became Punching the Clown. The voice lining out those songs, unmistakably, is Wagner's. Responding to his call: Broder (guitar), Justin Vernon (banjo), an Eau Claire-based choir put together by Blake Morgan, The Bible producer Ryan Olson (Poliça, Gayngs), and engineer Mark Nevers (Silver Jews, Bill Callahan, Bonnie "Prince" Billy), recording and mixing his first Lambchop album since 2012's Mr. M. However the notion of Wagner needing to become a "better" songwriter strikes longtime Lambchop fans, his striving has yielded an album of disarming humanity. It's graceful, generous, sometimes wry and sometimes heartbreaking, unblinkingly idiosyncratic yet precise as cut glass. How else can one describe Punching the Clown, beyond Wagner's own exegesis? It's the darndest thing.
