Now Hear This! - August 2026


Allison Russell
In the Hour of Chaos
FantastyBuy Now Russell's third album is a healing record made in community, summoning friends from across the map to find small moments of joy in a chaotic 2026. Americana Highways calls it music where healing is 'taken from those who would cause harm.' Harpist Ahya Simone among many contributors. A generous, radiant statement. 
Green Day
Nimrods Original Soundtrack
RepriseBuy Now The long-awaited companion to the 1997 album's narrative mythology, Green Day's Reprise archive expanded to accommodate the visual world of Nimrod's original rollout. This supplemental release gives collectors and hardcore fans a deeper look at one of the band's most eclectic and beloved records. An essential document for the faithful. 
Show Me The Body
Alone Together
Loma VistaBuy Now Brooklyn post-hardcore outfit Show Me The Body's fourth Loma Vista album pairs Julian Cashwan Pratt's raw delivery with production that feels both urgent and expansive. One of the more genuinely political and sonically distinctive acts in contemporary punk, Alone Together gives fans exactly what makes them worth paying attention to. 
Green Pajamas
When Fever Let Me Dream
Label 51 RecordingsBuy Now The long-running Seattle psych-folk outfit return with another collection of their signature hazy, melodic dream pop. For 40 years, the Green Pajamas have been quietly building one of the American underground's most consistently beautiful catalogs, and When Fever Let Me Dream belongs there comfortably. Essential listening for anyone who prizes melody over fashion. 
The Mountain Goats
Days
Thirty Tigers / Cadmean DawnBuy Now Darnielle's latest release arrives nine months after Through This Fire. Days carries the intimacy of music made without pause for breath, and Darnielle writing quickly rarely means writing carelessly. Another chapter from one of indie folk's most essential voices, delivered with characteristic urgency. 
Rain Parade
Home In Any Language
Label 51Buy Now Paisley Underground legends return via Label 51 with new material demonstrating their gift for shimmering, reverb-drenched psychedelic pop remains intact. Home In Any Language slots beautifully into the Rain Parade catalog and into the West Coast guitar-based dream pop tradition they helped create in the early 1980s. A welcome and genuine return. 
Little Big Town
It's A Dying Art
MCABuy Now The veteran four-piece deliver what the title suggests: a record that honors craft over trend. It's A Dying Art leans into the harmonies, melodic sophistication, and emotional nuance that have defined the band across their remarkable 25-year career. For country music's devoted craft-conscious listeners, this is exactly the record they've been waiting for. 
Punch Brothers
The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers
NonesuchBuy Now Punch Brothers' seventh Nonesuch album (first with fiddler Brittany Haas and first all-instrumental) was recorded at Guilford Sound, Vermont. Eight originals and three traditional arrangements. Mandolist Chris Thile: 'our deepest but also most joyful exploration of the American string band.' Without words, the music speaks a complete language. 
Margaret Glaspy
I Am Both
ATO RecordsBuy Now The Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter pushes her guitar-forward indie rock into bolder territory on her third album. Glaspy writes with an emotional bluntness that sets her apart, and I Am Both channels that quality into her most fully realized arrangements yet. A significant and confident step from one of indie rock's most distinctive voices. 
Future Palace
Resurgence
Century MediaBuy Now German symphonic and alternative metal act Future Palace deliver a resurgent album, pairing orchestral grandeur with contemporary metal production in a way that balances spectacle and substance. For listeners who want their metal cinematic without sacrificing force, Resurgence deliver both in generous supply. 
Michigander
Over Before You Know It
Thirty Tigers / Totally Normal RecordsBuy Now Flint, MI's Jason Singer releases cements his position as one of indie rock's most reliable purveyors of anthemic, guitar-driven pop. Over Before You Know It continues Michigander's run of big-hearted records with hooks that stick and production that suits the material. 
Improvement Movement
Your Perfect Real Life
ATO RecordsBuy Now Improvement Movement's ATO debut is a project that arrives with a knowing perspective on the performance of self-improvement in modern life. Sharp, melodic, and more layered than its premise might suggest, Your Perfect Real Life comes from an intriguing new voice worth watching. 
Old & In The Way
Live at Sonoma State 11.4.73
Round RecordsBuy Now A previously unavailable November 1973 live tape from the legendary acoustic supergroup of Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements, and John Kahn. Essential for Garcia devotees and acoustic Americana fans. A genuinely revelatory document from a band that changed what bluegrass could mean. 
My Chemical Romance
Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (Deluxe Edition)
RepriseBuy Now Reprise's deluxe expansion of MCR's 2010 concept album arrives to mark its 15th anniversary and the band's ongoing global return. The original record remains the band's most maximalist and narratively ambitious statement; the deluxe edition adds previously unreleased material that deepens the Killjoys mythology for the faithful. For the MCR universe, this is essential.

The Strokes
Reality Awaits
RCABuy Now Reality Awaits finds the Strokes doubling down on the maximalist detours of The New Abnormal, with Rick Rubin back behind the board and Julian Casablancas leaning hard into autotune and general weirdness. It's indulgent, swinging between tropical disco-rock and Radiohead-ish atmosphere. This a band unbothered in their 40s, and genuinely fun to watch. 

Gracie Abrams Buy Now From bedroom pop confessional to chart-topping songwriter, Abrams has built one of the most quietly compelling careers of her generation. The EPs minor and This Is What It Feels Like established her gift for raw, aching intimacy. Good Riddance, co-written with The National's Aaron Dessner, earned a Grammy nod and raised the stakes, while The Secret of Us delivered the breakthrough, cementing her as the real deal. 

Koe Wetzel
The Night Champion World TourBuy Now Texas country's most gloriously chaotic live act is taking his show global. Koe Wetzel's The Night Champion World Tour is a 45-date headlining run spanning the U.S., Canada, and Australia, timed to his new album of the same name. Wetzel put it simply: "I survived the night side of me. I'm coming out of it a champion." From dive bars to arenas, he's earned every bit of it. Read More -
What's New 7-17-26
Epitaph RecordsTwenty years in and the Scranton four-piece are at a creative peak. Everything I Ever Saw was shaped by Barnett's new fatherhood and May's divorce. 'Chance Encounters' and 'Nobody's Heroes' are instant Menzingers canon. A band on full creative fire at exactly the right moment in their lives.
Third Man RecordsJack White's seventh solo album was quietly listed for pre-order before any announcement. Recorded at Third Man Studio in Nashville, it carries the same raucous, raw, and frenetic energy of 2024's No Name. 13 tracks including 'G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs,' 'Derecho Demonico,' and 'Dollar Bill.' Still the most interesting guitarist in rock.
Rap-A-LotThe Geto Boys' 1991 platinum breakthrough returns newly remastered for its 35th anniversary. Willie D, Scarface, and the late Bushwick Bill's defining record still hits with undiminished force. 'Mind Playing Tricks on Me' remains one of hip-hop's greatest singles. Reissued as part of Rap-A-Lot's 40th anniversary campaign with a limited multi-colored vinyl variant.
Mushroom MusicThe Australian alt-rockers' first album in a decade is their most joyfully made. Touring North America supporting Muse, Sungazer sounds like music written for those stages: anthemic and built for open-air crowds. 'Lucky Dimes' and 'Giving Up Air' establish melodic confidence the band has never sounded more comfortable inhabiting.
Milan RecordsThis soundtrack to the acclaimed original series captures the show's musical personality: dramatic, propulsive, and emotionally athletic. The 2-CD and double-vinyl editions offer the complete score alongside featured songs that defined the series' most memorable scenes. A strong standalone listen for anyone drawn to contemporary orchestral and electronic scoring.
Warp RecordsKelela's third album blends shoegaze, grunge, R&B, and electronics through the lens of her early DC years. Produced with Oscar Scheller, featuring A.K. Paul, Fousheé, and PinkPantheress. Lead single 'Idea 1' earned Pitchfork Best New Track, comiong from an artist fully entitled to confound expectations.
