Nick Jonah Davis will release “Rose Delta Rising” on 4th September via Eiderdown Records and Cardinal Fuzz Records. His most collaborative album yet, it opens solo guitar pieces to drums, bass and strings, recorded at Black Bay Studio in the Outer Hebrides. Some compositions date back years, finding new life in the company of fellow musicians.

Babehoven share “Three Reds,” the latest single and video from their third album “I See Them, I See Me,” due September 18th via Double Double Whammy. The Hudson, New York duo opened up their process this time, recording across four studios and live-tracking with a six-person ensemble. The album follows 2024’s “Water’s Here In You.”

Our latest Monday Morning Brew playlist is out, featuring new music from The Furrow Collective, MF Tomlinson, Sir Richard Bishop, a new Blaze Foley tribute album, Margaret Glaspy, Kam Franklin and more, along with a stack of new music recommendations ranging from English Psych Folk to an album inspired by Southern Africa’s indigenous guitar traditions.

Joshua Van Tassel’s “Yearner” is a standalone single on which, alongside the composer’s much-loved Ondea, a modern Ondes Martenot, features Afie Jurvanen (of Bahamas) on bass, Joseph Shabason on woodwinds and Rose Cousins on wordless vocals; the piece moves through feelings of loss, yearning, memory and beauty.

This week’s Mixtape opens with our Artists of the Month, Mama’s Broke. We’ve also got new music from Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Julia Holter, BJ Cole & Secondson, Sir Richard Bishop, Blake Hornsby, Mcdara Yeates, Eliana Glass, Julia Holter and more, plus archive gems from Joanna Newsom, Harvey Lord, Alasdair Roberts & James Green, Olivia Chaney, Amiina, The Memory Band and more.

Sam Sweeney and Grace Smith announce “Morning Of May”, their debut duo album on Hudson Records, out 9th October. Exploring the possibilities of two fiddles in conversation within the English instrumental tradition, the pair drew on manuscript collections and obscure tune sources alongside original compositions. Listen to “Round Hill Wood / The Rowling Bet” now.

Laura Cortese announces “Lucky Water,” her first studio album in six years, due October 9th on Compass Records. Recorded at Sylvan Esso’s Betty’s studio and produced by LOLLIES, the album finds the Ghent-based fiddler navigating motherhood and belonging across borders. Lead single “Face the Rain” builds from plucked fiddle into a warm sweep of brushed drums and woodwinds. Watch the accompanying live video.

Margo Cilker has announced Little White Cross, her third album and first release on Fossil Records, due October 9th. Recorded to tape in Lockhart, Texas, with Bruce Robison, it follows the widely acclaimed Valley of Heart’s Delight. The title track — a Christy Hays cover — is out now, its stark roadside imagery setting the tone for an album born out of darkness.

BJ Cole and Secondson announce “There is Wonder Here,” a collaboration pairing pedal steel guitar with the rare Cristal Baschet — believed to be the first recording devoted to the interplay between the two instruments. First track “A Place You Could Never Leave” is out now, ahead of the album’s September 18th release via Centripetal Force and Geology Records.

Blake Hornsby’s “Brugmansia” leans heavily into British acid folk, styling its creator as a pointedly anachronistic lysergic troubadour. Songs stretch out as if baking in the sun, existing somewhere between traditional song, avant-garde composition and ancient rite. A strange and beguiling songwriter’s album, “Brugmansia” is a living record defined by real musical ingenuity.

Macdara Yeates announces “Mudlark Ballads,” his second album, due September 4th. Produced by Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox, the album wraps centuries-old Irish folk songs in strings, found-sounds, drones and handclaps. A central figure in Dublin’s folk scene and former Skipper’s Alley member, Yeates follows a debut that earned a MOJO Top 10 and RTÉ Folk Award nominations.

Hollow Hand shares the video for “Heavy Metal T-Shirt,” the final single from fourth album “Wish Road South,” directed by Mega Bog’s Erin Birgy and shot in Dublin. The rowdiest thing on the record, it was tracked live in a studio corridor in Brighton — feedback in the cracks, a singalong chorus, and no shortage of heart.

Jules Reidy shares “Clerestory Windows V,” the final movement of the solo suite from their forthcoming album “Clerestory,” due September 25th via Thrill Jockey. Performed on hex electric guitar with Euclidean sequencing, it is the most pared-back piece on an album that sets a JACK Quartet commission against solo refractions of the same material.

Sam Burton has signed to Captured Tracks and announced “Fairweather Friend,” his third solo album, due October 30th. Lead single “I’m A Stranger,” produced by Jonathan Wilson, arrives with a video by Otium. The album began after a car accident and months of solitary writing in Northern California. Burton joins Widowspeak for UK dates this November.

Ed Askew’s posthumous “The Final Painting” captures the fragile poignance of a great artist in the December of his years, giving one last shake of his feathers before exiting the stage. The album occupies a space between Bowie’s “Blackstar” and Cohen’s “You Want It Darker,” not raging against the dying of the light but dancing towards it with outstretched arms.

Watch Twisted Teens’ Jack Massuci-directed video for “Florida Water Blues,” the title track of their third album on Going Underground Records. The New Orleans band’s second release of 2026 trades the nervous energy of “Blame the Clown” for something more patient and atmospheric, with CPN’s multi-instrumental sprawl and RJ Santos’ steel guitar soaked in Gulf Coast humidity.

Isik Kural has announced “Motorcycles and Cherry Wind,” his third album for RVNG Intl., sharing lead single “Winter Sun” with a video by Barnaby Omar. A twelve-track travelogue shaped by field recordings from Istanbul to Scotland, the album features nine international musicians and follows 2024’s “Moon in Gemini,” one of that year’s most rewarding albums.

Recorded at The Pico Union Project in LA over Valentine’s Day weekend 2025, “Ghosts of American Psychonauts” reworks three tracks from “The Purple Bird” with new instrumentation and draws from across Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s career — including “I See a Darkness,” the title track of his first BPB album. A stellar cast of guests are included.
