Sylvan Esso have announced “Ow ∞”, their first album in four years and the first released on their own Psychic Hotline label. Made almost daily since 2022 at their Betty’s studio, it gathers the largest community of musicians the duo have ever worked with across twelve tracks. Out 11 September.

Duffy x Uhlmann — Meg Duffy of Hand Habits and Gregory Uhlmann — announce their second album “Hot Creek”, out 14 August on Orindal Records, and share new single “Public Life”. Taking Adrienne Rich’s “dream of a common language” as its frame, the duo reach for each other with two guitars on a record named after a Californian geothermal spring.

A. Lee Edwards carried a line from an old newspaper editorial in his wallet for years; it became “Without You”, the new single from his forthcoming album “Interpreting Heart Sounds, Vol. II”. Mixed by John Wood at Echo Mountain in Asheville, it’s hushed, string-forward folk about lost love and the disappearance of mill towns and a whole way of life.

Alex Dupree shares “I Can See Her In Your Eyes,” a country duet with Jolie Holland and the third single from “Talking to the Dog,” out August 14th via Scissor Tail Records. Two voices circle the same relational dead end from opposite sides — one still hung up on an old love, the other reading it plainly.
