Freya Ridings releases her first new music of 2026 with the evocative ‘Wild Horse’, a stunning slice of emotional pop driven by her trademark vocals. Listen to ‘Wild Horse’ HERE.

Written by Freya, Sam De Jong and Michael Matosic, and produced by Sam De Jong, ‘Wild Horse’ was recorded in LA where Freya spent much of the past year working with a variety of producers and songwriters.

“I let you shake my faith, but not anymore” she sings.

“Writing ‘Wild Horse’ for me as an artist felt like the true expression of unbridled freedom,” Freya says. “I found my creative spark again with the support of an incredible collaborator Sam De Jong (Gracie Abrams, Pink, Muse). It truly feels like finding my voice again.”

 Since her 2017 top ten breakthrough with “Lost Without You’, she’s oscillated between tender ballads and punch the air triumphs, creating a totally unique sound. ‘Wild Horse’ is from a forthcoming new album propelled by a real sense of urgency.

Her self-titled debut album was a BRIT-nominated, Gold-certified triumph, achieving over 1 billion streams and earning 47 Gold and Platinum certifications worldwide. ‘Lost Without You’ also saw Freya become the first female artist to both write and perform a solo Top 10 hit in the UK.

With chart-topping tracks like ‘Castles’ and ‘You Mean The World To Me’ she garnered widespread praise from both media and peers while unforgettable performances at Glastonbury and a sold-out Somerset House show cemented her status as a live powerhouse. She’s just returned from Australia where she was special guest to OneRepublic.

A new year has brought a new start and a new label for Freya Ridings. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for news of a new album and live dates. She’s just getting started!

Try not to choke on the glitter…

‘Your Favorite Toy ‘, the titular first single of Foo Fighters’ forthcoming 12th full-length studio album, has been released.

The first new FF music of 2026, ‘Your Favorite Toy’ is nothing short of an insidious earworm. Jagged guitar shards and sinister keyboard stabs bob and weave atop a relentless rhythmic pulse, as Dave Grohl unleashes a newfound sardonic vocal tone on infectious choruses:

Get back

Hear that, boy?

Someone threw away your favorite toy for good

For good

A perfect first taste and representation of the album of the same name, ‘Your Favorite Toy’ sounds like nothing else in the band’s monolithic discography, while instantly and unmistakably identifiable as Foo Fighters.

Dave Grohl commented, “‘Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album. We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”

Preceded by its title track and last year’s incendiary ‘Asking For A Friend,’ Your Favorite Toy will be released April 24th via Roswell Records/Columbia Records. Recorded at home, the album was co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, engineered by Oliver Roman and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, and consists of the following songs:

Caught In The Echo

Of All People

Window

Your Favorite Toy

If You Only Knew

Spit Shine

Unconditional

Child Actor

Amen, Caveman

Asking For A Friend

Your Favorite Toy’s release heralds Foo Fighters’ massive Take Cover world tour, which kicks off June 10th at Unity Arena in Oslo, following a pair of US festival headlines at Welcome to Rockville and Bottlerock. The band will return to the UK for two dates at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 25th and 27th. For more information on the tour, go to https://foofighters.lnk.to/ShowsPR.

Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee and Ilan Rubin.

Fresh back from a headline tour across the UK, rising star Alex Spencer has released his new single ‘Farewell to Forever.’ The track is the first to be taken from his forthcoming EP, which is due later this year. Listen to ‘Farewell To Forever HERE.

An exploration of self-sabotage and the difficult emotions that arise when letting go of the things and people you love, ‘Farewell to Forever’ showcases a more vulnerable and raw side to Alex with a hopeful take on new beginnings. “The track tells the story of walking away in order to move on with the next phase of your life,” Alex says.” I wrote it just before getting ready to head out on my debut headline tour. It was a crazy time, and I was going through all the things 18-year-olds do, growing up and experiencing new emotions.”

Fast becoming one of the UK’s most exciting young voices in indie music and with a run of dates with Corella across the UK, as well as a support slot opening for The Black Keys at Alexandra Palace Park last year under his belt, Alex is set for another busy year on the road. Just back from a sold-out run across the UK, Alex will support Louis Tomlinson across 10 dates on his European run this spring.

Alex Spencer’s street-savvy lyricism is undeniable with his song writing capability proving far beyond his 18 years of age. While his roots are embedded in the culture of his hometown, a large portion of his childhood was spent living in India and Thailand, which has had a profound impact on his creativity and ambitious perspective. At the age of ten, Alex picked up the guitar, inspired by his father’s playing, and hasn’t let go of it since. Self-taught and masterfully skilled, he has spent years perfecting his craft.

Acclaimed Oscar and Grammy-winning musician Ryan Bingham will release They Call Us The Lucky Ones, his highly anticipated new album with The Texas Gentlemen, May 15 via The Bingham Recording Co./Thirty Tigers. Ahead of the release, his new song, ‘Ballad of The Texas Gentlemen,’ is out now. Listen to the track HERE.

Of the track, Bingham shares, “After years of being out on my own and playing shows on and off with The Texas Gentlemen, I realized somewhere along the way I was part of a band again without really planning it. ‘Ballad of The Texas Gentlemen’ really came out of that moment – just being back out on the road with people you trust and remembering why you fell in love with playing music in the first place.”

His first full-length project in over seven years, They Call Us The Lucky Ones further cements Bingham as one of the most authentic and compelling voices in American music. Across the album’s 10 tracks, including previous releases ‘The Lucky Ones’ and ‘Americana,’ Bingham reflects on the highs and lows of an artist’s life on the road and his newfound sense of joy and hope, all framed by the unique genre-defying sound he and The Texas Gentlemen create together.

“This album was probably the most fun I’ve had making a record,” Bingham reflects. “I’ve always loved records that feel loose and live and gritty with a bit of soul, where the imperfections from the moment are left in. Working with musicians as talented as The Texas Gentlemen really let us lean into that in a way I hadn’t experienced before. There was an unspoken understanding between us about what each song needed, so we tracked most of it live with minimal overdubs, just playing and letting the feel lead. It finally felt like I was capturing these songs the way I always heard them in my head. We can’t wait to get out on the road and share them with fans.”

In celebration of the new music, Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen will embark on their extensive Still Gettin’ Away With It Tour this spring, including newly confirmed stops at New York’s Irving Plaza, Boston’s Roadrunner, Philadelphia’s The Fillmore, Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Theatre and Pittsburgh’s Stage AE among many others. Full details can be found at www.ryanbingham.com.

In addition to Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen—Ryan Ake (guitars), Daniel Creamer (piano, organ), Paul Grass (drums, percussion) and Scott Lee (bass)—the record also features Richard Bowden (fiddle, mandolin) and Cody Huggins (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, pedal steel).

They Call Us The Lucky Ones will be released on vinyl in multiple exclusive retail variants, including Classic Black, Indie Retail exclusive “Electric Smoke,” Barnes & Noble exclusive “Blue Sky,” Amazon exclusive “Vintage Bone” and the webstore-exclusive limited edition “Roadside Rust.” The album will also be available on CD and a nostalgia-inspired cassette, with all formats available for pre-order HERE.

Bingham is a Grammy, Oscar, Golden Globe, and Critics’ Choice Award-winning singer-songwriter and actor whose raw, world-weary voice and evocative storytelling have made him one of the most distinctive artists of his generation. From his early years as a drifter and bull rider to penning ‘The Weary Kind’ for the film Crazy Heart, Bingham has built a career defined by authenticity and artistic independence. His music—spanning folk, blues, country, and rock—reflects a life fully lived, blending grit, vulnerability, and resilience in equal measure.

Across six studio albums, two live records, and his 2023 self-produced EP Watch Out For The Wolf, Bingham has remained committed to unfiltered, genre-defying storytelling, most recently captured in his live album Live at Red Rocks. In addition to his acclaimed music career, he starred as fan-favorite ‘Walker’ on Paramount’s record-breaking series Yellowstone. Beyond the stage and screen, Bingham has launched his own record label, founded the Fort Worth-based festival and rodeo, The Great Western, and introduced Bingham Spirits, beginning with Bingham’s Bourbon in 2024.

Global superstar Luke Combs’ new song, ‘Be By You,’ is out now. Listen/share HERE.

Of the track, Combs shares, “‘Be By You’ was sent to me through a friend. I didn’t personally know any of the guys who wrote it, but the vibe and the melody immediately struck me. It’s one of those rare outside cuts for me, and I honestly think the song turned out perfect. The fans have really made this one their own, and releasing it just before Valentine’s Day felt like the right moment.”

‘Be By You’ is the latest track shared from Combs’ highly anticipated new album, The Way I Am, which will be released March 20 via Sony Music Nashville. Produced by Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Chip Matthews, The Way I Am cements Combs as a singular talent, showcasing his powerful, resonant voice and adept storytelling with songs that balance heartfelt vulnerability with anthemic energy.

With the new 22-track album, which includes a collaboration with Alison Krauss as well as previously released songs ‘Sleepless in a Hotel Room,’ ‘My Kinda Saturday Night,’ ‘Days Like These,’ ‘15 Minutes,’ ‘Giving Her Away’ and ‘Back in the Saddle,’ Combs dives deeper than ever into his life behind the scenes—the challenges of balancing family and career, self-doubt and self-belief and the clarity that comes from focusing on what truly matters.

    The new album adds to an already groundbreaking career for Combs, who made history last year as the first country artist to headline both Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, in addition to topping the bills at several other all-genre festivals including Austin City Limits, Newport Folk Festival and New Orleans JazzFest. Additionally, he became the first country artist with two songs earning a billion streams on Spotify, the first with four singles certified RIAA Diamond and recently extended his record for the most consecutive #1 singles at country radio as he earned his 20th #1 with ‘Back in the Saddle.’ These accomplishments follow Combs’ last album, Fathers & Sons, which reflects on his experiences as a dad and the unique bond between parents and their children, and led NPR Music to praise, “he’s going beyond the country realm now and really has become a popstar, a global popstar.”

    A Grand Ole Opry member and 11x CMA, 4x ACM, 6x Billboard Music Award-winner from Asheville, NC, Combs recently collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (‘Guy For That’ + ‘Missin’ You Like This’), Bailey Zimmerman (‘Backup Plan,’the 2025 SEC Network anthem), Jon Bellion (‘WHY’) and Alex Warren (“‘Ordinary (Live at Lollapalooza)’), and partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open Category 10—an entertainment complex in downtown Nashville, with a second location opening in Las Vegas this year. Combs also performed an unforgettable duet of ‘Fast Car’ with Tracy Chapman at the 66th Grammy Awards and joined forces with Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor to headline “Concert for Carolina,” a special benefit show that raised over $24.5 million for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

Multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, and hitmaker Bebe Rexha announces her new album DIRTY BLONDE with a first of its kind supercut — a high-octane, 4-minute mashup that merges 13 of her upcoming singles and corresponding video elements into one adrenaline-packed release. The supercut offers a fast, chaotic, and enticing glimpse into Rexha’s boldest era yet and serves as a prelude to upcoming body of work. Alongside the supercut, Rexha has also released the album’s first track in new single ‘I Like You Better Than Me’. Listen to the single HERE.

The supercut is the opening move into a first-of-its kind rollout, built on a digital first approach around the way fans actually discover music today — through engaging moments, social-first storytelling, and tailored trends. Designed to be attention-grabbing, highly interactive and endlessly shareable, the release invites fans to clip, remix, and reimagine the project across social media while teasing the full versions of the singles still to come.

The release also marks a new chapter for Rexha, who recently partnered with independent label EMPIRE — who has championed the creative freedom behind this first-of-its-kind campaign. Free from traditional rollout limitations, Rexha is leaning into a faster, more direct connection with her audience, delivering music in a format that feels immediate, disruptive, and completely on her terms.

“This next chapter is about creative freedom — trusting my instincts, trusting my voice, and finally doing things the way I’ve always wanted to. I’ve learned a lot, I’ve lived a lot, and I’m fully tuned into myself now. Following my gut has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my career. This era is fearless, loud, and unapologetic — no filters, no limits. DIRTY BLONDE is me owning exactly who I am.”

The supercut sets the tone for the next singles rolling out on the horizon of album, DIRTY BLONDE, and prepares fans for an era defined by Rexha’s fearless experimentation, unapologetic realness, and a rollout that plays by no rules – much like the artist herself.

Metric have announced their new album, Romanticize The Dive, arriving April 24 on Thirty Tigers, and shared its first single, ‘Victim Of Luck.’ The band will also play a sold-out, stripped back in-store at London’s Rough Trade East on Monday April 13th. Watch the video HERE & listen HERE.

The disarming first track doubles as a mission statement, tracing the band back to their early days and revisiting the tension, vulnerability, and hunger of youth. Through the lens of hindsight, Metric revisit where it all began, with lead singer Emily Haines opening the band’s tenth studio album with these lines:  ”Let me take you back, it was the start of something, I was there not long before all the stardom. Now I’m in front of you and all I’m seeing is all my flaws. I was a starving artist but I was fearless. Now I don’t know what we are, frightened of heights we knew, scared to go too far, how I might look to you. Now who have I become, trash that mirror let my black mascara run.” Listen to ‘Victim Of Luck’ HERE.

“The song ‘Victim Of Luck’ and really the entire album is about the romance of a less than perfect life. It’s about dropping the mask of self-consciousness and vanity,” Emily Haines say. “It was a long journey for me to get out of my own way and I wanted this song to be a rallying cry for that, better late than never.  You can be as much a victim of good luck as bad. So when we started out yes we were broke and we were playing to ten people and there was nothing for us to fall back on but we refused to give up, and it’s not as though we’re all superstar billionaires now, but that was never what we were after. It turns out the grind is the thing you wouldn’t trade and the bonds you made can’t be faked. What we wanted is what we have and we’re not victims of anything. We dedicated our lives to each other and it’s the best feeling in the world”

Metric have released a companion video for the song composed of previously unseen archival footage of band life-riding in vans, smoking cigarettes, playing in clubs and goofing around in shitty dressing rooms. The past is layered with the present as we are given a sneak peek into Metric’s recent reunion with indie sleaze photographer Mark the Cobrasnake, who captured some of the first images ever of the band when they were starting out in Los Angeles and has returned to the fold for this new album.

In addition to their new album, Metric, Broken Social Scene & Stars have announced the All The Feelings North American Tour, promoted by Live Nation. A celebration of lifelong friendship and creative communion amongst the Toronto legends, the tour kicks off in Austin at the Moody Theatre on June 8th and ends with a glorious homecoming at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto on August 7th. Highlights include The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on June 16th, The Brooklyn Paramount in Brooklyn on July 30th and The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on August 4th. More dates in Canada and abroad will be announced in the coming weeks. Watch the tour trailer HERE.

For their tenth LP, Metric went back to the place where they met: New York City at the height of its indie-rock explosion., Recording once again at Electric Lady, Metric reunited with Fantasies and Synthetica producer Gavin Brown, joined by co-producers Jimmy Shaw, Liam O’Neil, and mix engineer John O’Mahoney. This emotional reunion sonically captures the thrill of the band’s earliest ascent, all the chaos and possibility of the early-2000s music scene, and brings it into the cultural context of 2026.

Romanticize The Dive – Tracklisting:

1. Victim Of Luck
2. Wild Rut
3. Time Is A Bomb
4. Crush Forever
5. Tremolo
6. Moral Compass
7. As If You’re Here
8. Loyal
9. Antigravity
10. Clouds To Break
11. Leave You On A High

Metric is Emily Haines(vocals, keys), Jimmy Shaw(producer, guitar, keys), Joshua Winstead (bass guitar, keys) and Joules Scott Key(drums). They have spent over 20 years together in creative partnership and are releasing their 10th studio album in 2026 maintaining the original lineup. “The band has become Canadian indie-rock icons,” says Pitchfork. “Metric [has] their own increasingly rare success story.” The band resisted major label offers in favor of starting their own label and retaining control of their own material and career, and for the last two decades have found themselves on an unusual trajectory of increasing success while continuing to push their own artistic boundaries past conventional expectations. Metric has been nominated for numerous Polaris Music Prize and JUNO Awards, including five wins. Metric has appeared on The Tonight Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Later…With Jools Holland and have toured extensively, playing headline shows and festivals around the world.

The Imposters are Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher and they are joined once again by guitarist Charlie Sexton.

As the playful billing suggests, the show will feature numbers drawn from record releases from My Aim Is True in 1977 to Blood & Chocolate in 1986, along with other surprises. Those nine years saw the first appearance of some of Elvis Costello’s most renowned compositions from ‘Watching The Detectives’ to ‘I Want You’, along with songs that have remained in The Imposters’ live repertoire over the last 20 or more years, including ‘Alison,’ ‘Man Out Of Time’ and ‘Brilliant Mistake.’

“For any songwriter, it has to be a compliment if people want to hear songs written up to fifty years ago. Among them, ‘Radio Soul,’ the first draft of what eventually became ‘Radio Radio,” Elvis said of the run. “You can expect the unexpected and the faithful in equal measure. Don’t forget this show is “Performed by Elvis Costello & The Imposters”, an ensemble which includes three people who first recorded this music and two more who bring something entirely new. They are nobody’s tribute band. The Imposters are a living, breathing, swooning, swinging, kicking and screaming rock and roll band who can turn their hands to a pretty ballad when the opportunity arises.”

 The band were also previously announced as special guests to Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts across a run of UK and European dates, as part of the Love Earth World Tour. Kicking off on June 17, 2026, in Cornwall, England, the summer run will include headlining concerts and festival appearances across France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and The Netherlands.

The King Of America songs are expected to be heard in the mid-show interlude, along with songs written as long ago as 1975 and even some of those “pretty ballads” that Costello has promised.

Following the announcement of her sophomore album You Heartbreaker, You earlier this year, songwriter, singer, and multi-disciplinary artist Jehnny Beth releases new single ‘No Good For People’. A distorted cacophony of synths, ‘No Good For People’ is the latest cut from her forthcoming new album, which comes August 29th on Fiction Records. Listen to ‘No Good For People’ HERE & watch the video HERE.

“The idea of the song came as I re-watched the first season of True Detective,” Jehnny said of the track. “There’s a scene at the end where the character played by Matthew McConaughey says that he can be hard to live with: “I don’t mean to, but I can be…critical. Sometimes I think I’m just not good for people…I wear them down”. It spoke to me because it questions the inability to coexist with others and the delicate balance where the truth can be heartbreaking.” 

The track comes alongside a striking video co-directed by Jehnny and collaborator Johnny Hostile. “For this album, Johnny and I worked on the music and the visuals simultaneously. One moment we were recording in the studio, the next we were taking pictures, or making a t-shirt, one always informing the other,” Jehnny says of the video. “For the ‘No Good For People’ video we explored this idea of the double, how we can be two-faced sometimes, or want to hide our ugly side. It was made soon after David Lynch had died and somehow, when I watch it now, I can see a bit of his influence in the surrealistic aspects of some of the scenes (with blue curtains instead of red though!!)”.

Known for her ferocious live shows, Jehnny has announced a run of October headline dates through the UK and EU, including shows at Electrowerkz and The Camden Assembly in London on October 30th and 31st, respectively. More info HERE. 

She has also just announced four Rough Trade in-store shows through September. Tickets for the shows can be purchased by pre-ordering the record from the individual stores.

Recorded and produced by longtime co-creator Johnny Hostile at their 20L07 studio in France, You Heartbreaker, You is visceral, abrasive and cathartic. “We’re living in a dark time, full of drama and barbarous tragedy. It became clear to me that, in these times, we either learn how to scream really well, or we learn how to whisper,” Jehnny says of the record. 

Capturing the feeling of being broken in a broken world, where love still operates on a prehistoric level, You Heartbreaker, You is a radical work that cuts straight to the core: heart to heart.

Robert Plant announces the release of Saving Grace: the first album featuring a new band of distinguished players, which he calls “a song book of the lost and found”. The album arrives September 26 on Nonesuch Records. Listen to Robert Plant and Saving Grace’s reimagined rendition of Low’s ‘Everybody’s Song’ HERE.

The genesis of Saving Grace began during the lockdown in “The Shire”, when Plant’s customary wandering was all but forbidden. While his recent adventures have centred around Nashville, having reunited with Alison Krauss for 2021’s chart-topping, multi GRAMMY-nominated Raise The Roof, it was in the English countryside that Robert Plant connected closely to this diverse group of musicians, who through their own experiences had a shared lean towards his much-loved corners of evocative song. Together, Plant and Saving Grace – vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown – have spent the past six years growing into a wide-ranging workshop of styles and personalities, weaving through time and circumstance with joy and abandon. 

“We laugh a lot, really.  I think that suits me. I like laughing,” Plant says. “You know, I can’t find any reason to be too serious about anything. I’m not jaded. The sweetness of the whole thing… These are sweet people and they are playing out all the stuff that they could never get out before. They have become unique stylists and together they seem to have landed in a most interesting place.”

Following his previous acclaimed releases on Nonesuch Records – 2014’s lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar and 2017’s Carry Fire – Saving Grace brings yet another chapter of Robert Plant’s ceaseless roar into the daylight. Produced by Robert Plant and Saving Grace – and recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders – Saving Grace breathes fresh life into a collection of century-old music. A treasury of songs featured back in time by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind, and Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk’s Low. 

After touring extensively across the UK and Europe in recent months and years, Robert Plant and Saving Grace will perform for the first time in the US this autumn, with an initial run of a dozen North American shows announced today. Dates include NYC’s Brooklyn Paramount, Port Chester’s Capitol Theatre, Chicago’s The Vic, Los Angeles’ United Theater and more. Find the full list and tickets at robertplant.com/timetable.

Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author Josh Ritter releases his new song, ‘Truth is a Dimension (Both Invisible and Blinding),’. The song is the latest unveiled from his anticipated new album, I Believe in You, My Honeydew, out September 12 via Thirty Tigers. Listen/share HERE and watch the lyric video HERE.

Of the track, Ritter shares, “I don’t remember writing this song. I hardly ever do. I remember beginning with the daydream of a night drive through the desert. I arrived at a lookout and, here, looking up at the stars from the parking lot of my mind, I caught a glimpse of something thoroughly unexpected. TRUTH revealed itself to me for an instant. The song was done when I woke up from the daydream. I recorded this song in one take. Thanks to Sam Kassirer for realizing that it was the one, and to Rich Hinman for the glorious solo. I released this song previously on an EP, lest something should happen to me and it be forgotten. Now, I’m doing my best to make sure that it won’t.”

In celebration of the new music, Ritter will tour through this autumnl including newly confirmed solo shows at Los Angeles’ Masonic Lodge, Portland’s The Old Church (two nights) and Seattle’s St. Mark’s Cathedral among others. Tickets for the new shows will be available for pre-sale starting tomorrow, July 16 at 10:00am local time with general on-sale following this Friday, July 18 at 10:00am local time. A portion of the proceeds from pre-sale tickets sold via joshritter.com will be donated to Immigrant Defense Project. Pre-sale sign-up and full details can be found at www.joshritter.com/#tour.

Throughout his decades long career, Ritter has established himself as “one of the most perceptive artists making music today” (American Songwriter), releasing twelve albums to date and earning the respect of countless music legends, with artists such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Bob Weir having performed and recorded his songs.

With the release of I Believe in You, My Honeydew, Ritter shares ten new tracks that further demonstrate the insightful and engaging artistry that he’s celebrated for, including ‘You Won’t Dig My Grave,’ which was released last month. Produced by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim), the new album features Ritter alongside his Royal City Band: Kassirer (piano, organ, synthesizer, accordion), Zachariah Hickman (acoustic and electric bass, thumb piano, mandolin), Rich Hinman (guitars, pedal steel, mandolin) and Ray Rizzo (drums, percussion).

The new project follows Ritter’s 2024 mini-album, Heaven, or Someplace as Nice, which he recorded with legendary jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, and his acclaimed 2023 full-length project, Spectral Lines. Of the record, Paste praised, “Josh Ritter is like a more open-hearted version of Leonard Cohen. His lyrics draw on the divine, but he seems to see a little heaven in all the people around him,” while No Depression declared, “a hopeful tapestry that encourages listeners to sit with each other in introspection, but not to forget to sing along.”

In addition to his work as a musician, Ritter is also a national best-selling author, having released two novels to date: 2011’s Bright’s Passage and 2021’s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All, for which the film rights have recently been optioned for development. Released to critical attention, Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright’s Passage “shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime…This is the work of a gifted novelist.”
