What's New 9-11-26
Twenty years on from Silent Alarm, Kele Okereke and company sound as charged and restless as ever on their seventh album. Anatomy Of A Brief Romance is taut, angular indie rock with Bloc Party's trademark nervous energy fully intact. Contagious Limited lets them operate on their own terms. The freedom shows.
Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn's fifth album is their most sonically unguarded. Ow moves between dance, folk, and minimalist electronic pop with their familiar blend of emotional directness and sonic intelligence. A creative partnership that keeps producing results feeling inevitable in retrospect and fresh on first listen.
Simon Green's eighth album is patient, absorbing electronic music as emotional landscape. Ninja Tune's most atmospheric artist keeps finding new angles on his signature sound: layered, introspective, deeply felt. Distance In Static rewards headphone listening again and again. A record that improves every space you play it in.
The self-titled format is the Americana veteran's way of saying this one is personal. Miller has been a guitarist, producer, collaborator, and bandleader for five decades; here he steps forward with something to say all his own. The album earns its definitive title.
The Gaslight Anthem frontman's newest solo album leans into Jersey pride with warmth and grit that have always been his greatest assets. Fallon writes about home with love for what it gave him and honesty about what it cost.
The London jazz collective's fourth album arrives in the wake of a Barclays arena headline and a Mercury Prize. Here Because Of Hope is jubilant and politically engaged, channeling Afrobeat, jazz, and grime into something genuinely urgent. TJ Koleoso and company sound like a band that knows its moment.
The legendary Matador Records signs Nate Amos for one of 2026's most distinctive indie rock albums. The Singer In My Band is bedroom-pop as literary fiction: quietly elaborate, emotionally precise, stranger than it appears. A wonderful discovery for anyone with the patience to stay in it.
Out 9.18: Rhiannon Giddens - Hope is the Thing with Feathers
Available on both Eco Black vinyl and CD, Pulitzer and Grammy-winning artist Rhiannon Giddens' new album Hope is the Thing with Feathers will be released September 18 on Nonesuch Records. The 10-song collection was inspired by the beauty of people coming together and drawing strength from each other. It was intentionally recorded live with no frills and few overdubs, just pure and essential music that captures the feeling of community, clarity, as well as the joy and power of creating together. From exploring the lineages that make American music to the community-oriented spirit in which it was conceived and recorded, in many ways the album tells the story of the last 20 years of Giddens' life.
