Dinosaur Jr.

I didn't realize we were getting new music from Dinosaur Jr. this year.  Finally some good news.  Listen to "Several Got Away" below and pre-order the "There Near" LP here from Jagjaguwar.

Chanel Beads

Back in 2024, New York avant garde indie pop artist Chanel Beads released an album called "Your Day Will Come."  It is now 2026, and the Chanel Beads are set to release their new album also called "Your Day Will Come."  Check out the excellently titled "The Coward Forgets His Nightmare" below and pre-order the LP here from Jagjaguwar.

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory

Indie darling Sharon Van Etten has a new album coming our way early next year, this time around in full collaborative spirit with her band The Attachment Theory.  Check out first single "Afterlife" below and pre-order "Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory" here from Jagjaguwar.

Chanel Beads

New York artist Chanel Beads is prepping his debut album for Jagjaguwar with the upcoming "Your Day Will Come."  Check out first single, the dreamy, wistful "Idea June" below and pre-order the album here.

Cut Worms

We've got some new folk and alt-country coming our way this summer from Brooklyn's Cut Worms.  "Ballad of the Texas King" sounds like something you'd listen to in the back yard or on the porch, the haze of summer all around, and maybe a beer in your hand.  Check it out below and pre-order the upcoming self-titled album here from Jagjaguwar.

Angel Olsen

Yesterday Angel Olsen announced a new EP, "Forever Means," coming our way next month.  And the first track is wonderful, a piano led lament full of late night lounge jazz vibes and regret.  Listen to "Nothing's Free" below and pre-order the record here from Jagjaguwar.

Molly Lewis

Landing somewhere between island folk and vintage exotica records, "Mirage," the new album from Australian artist Molly Lewis feels like the sound of the sun setting behind the Pacific Ocean.  Dig on the chilled sea vibes of "Miracle Fruit" below and pre-order the record here from Jagjaguwar.

Angel Olsen

I was not expecting to hear new music from Angel Olsen this morning, but i'm all the better for it, as are we all.  New track "All the Good Times" has some wonderful, old school country vibes working for it, the kind of thing you slow dance in a honkytonk to.  Check out the video below and pre-order the upcoming new album "Big Time" here from Jagjaguwar.

Angel Olsen

Angel Olsen has had quite a banner couple of years with a career defining album, a stripped down and reworked version of said career defining album, a great collaboration with Sharon Van Etten, and coming out of the closet.  And now she's got a new EP of covers on the horizon featuring her versions of tracks by Billy Idol and Men Without Hats among others.  Check out Olsen's wonderful cover of Laura Branigan's "Gloria" below and pre-order the "Aisles" EP here from Jagjaguwar.

Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen

I don't know if you're aware of this, but Sharon Van Etten rules.  And i don't know if you're aware of this either, but Angel Olsen rules too.  And the two artists have teamed up for a pretty great track called "Like I Used To."  You might even say, it rules.  You can currently find the track at your preferred streaming site and you can watch the video below.  No word on a physical release yet, but as both artists are on Jagjaguwar, it's safe to assume that's where one would pop up.  And here's hoping we can get some further collaborations between the two in the future.

Sharon Van Etten Covers Daniel Johnston

Back in the fall, the lovely Sharon Van Etten released a new jam, "Let Go," for the documentary film "Feels Good Man."  A 7" single of the track is coming out soon and features a cover of Daniel Johnston's "Some Things Last a Long Time" on the B-side.  We're big fans of both Van Etten and Johnston around these parts, and her gothy, sprawling take on the tune brings out all the right kind of melancholy.  Check it out below, download both songs here via Jagjaguwar and pre-order the record here from Mondo.

Angel Olsen

It's been a real shitty day today right?  Well, at least we're getting a new album from Angel Olsen next month.  Dropping the epic and symphonic (and also excellent) sound of last year's "All Mirrors" for something more stripped down, haunting, and achingly lovely, the new album is probably going to sound like quarantine.  Pre-order the "Whole New Mess" LP here from Jagjaguwar and listen to the wonderful title track below.

Cut Worms

Brooklyn's Cut Worms makes a kind of quirky, indie pop blend of folk, country, and doo-wop.  On the latest single release, the artist really leans into the old school country pop, and it's lovely.  Listen to "Unnatural Disaster" below and get the new tunes here from Jagjaguwar.

Angel Olsen Remixed by Johnny Jewel

Angel Olsen's "All Mirrors" was one of my favorite songs and albums last year, and now the standout track gets a synthy, dance remix from Johnny Jewel.  It's wonderful, and a great way to start today.  Check it out below and download it here from Jagjaguwar.

Black Mountain - What's Your Conquest?

I shared some new music from the former Black Mountain members in Lightning Dust yesterday, so i guess it's only fair to jam a new one from Black Mountain today.  Check out new single "What's Your Conquest?" below, a psych/prog fusion with plenty of big synths.  Then get it here via Jagjaguwar.

Angel Olsen - All Mirrors

I saw the wonderful news last night, whilst trying to ignore televised debates, that Angel Olsen has a new record entitled "All Mirrors" heading our way in October via Jagjaguwar.  Watch the video for the synth-laden and dramatic title track below and pre-order the album here.  It's excellent, and the sound is something that she's hinted at moving towards in the past.  Plus, the record's got some engineering/production work from the indispensable John Congleton which is always a good thing.

Black Mountain - Future Shade

May brings us a new album from psychedelic stoner juggernauts Black Mountain.  Listen to "Future Shade" below and get the "Destroyer" LP from Jagjaguwar.

Sharon Van Etten

The wonderful Sharon Van Etten has a new album, "Remind Me Tomorrow," heading our way at the beginning of 2019 via Jagjaguwar.  The record features production by the ever prolific John Congleton, and is described by the artist as such:

“I want to be a mom, a singer, an actress, go to school, but yeah, I have a stain on my shirt, oatmeal in my hair and I feel like a mess, but I’m here. Doing it. This record is about pursuing your passions."

Awesome.  Anyway, listen to the excellent lead single, "Comeback Kid," below and pre-order the album here.

Cut Worms

Brooklyn's Cut Worms make music that sounds like i should be listening to it outside, sitting on a patio chair, hot and sweaty from mowing the lawn, and beer in hand.  A mix of '60s sunshine harmonies, psychedelic pop, and country-tinged Americana, it hits just right on a warm day.  Listen to "Don't Want to Say Good-bye" below and grab new album "Hollow Ground" in May from Jagjaguwar.

Preoccupations

There's a modicum of ice on the roads today here in Central Texas, so naturally the whole area's been shut down.  I'm home.  Wife's home.  Kids are home.  I've got a fire going, watching news on the television of the 100 car accidents the city's already seen this morning, and now digging on the news that we've got a new album from Preoccupations heading our way in March.  Listen to the moody "Espionage" below and pre-order "New Material" from Jagjaguwar.
