Today, Ya Tseen (pronounced Yacht Seen) has shared a new single, entitled “Ixwsiteen (I See You)”, a standout new track off the band’s forthcoming release, Stand On My Shoulders, out Friday, January 16th, 2026 worldwide from Sub Pop Records. Led by multi-disciplinary artist Nicholas Galanin, Stand On My Shoulders is an incandescent exploration of existence, a celebration of love and connection to Land.
 
“Ixwsiteen (I See You)” was written for Aaron Bushnell, shares Galanin. “A reflection on witnessing, complicity, and the cost of conscience in an empire that erases what it fears. The song holds space for his act of protest, a flame against indifference, awareness is ceremony; once opened, it resists forgetting.”
 
Ya Tseen will embark on a 10-date tour supporting Portugal. The Man. These dates will begin on November 6th in Portland, OR, and end on November 19th in Denver, CO. See below for a complete list of shows.

Today, November 4th, Stockholm-based artist waterbaby has shared an exuberant new single for her staccato-laced neo-soul-pop track, “Beck n Call.” Featuring guest rapper ttoh, this song was written by waterbaby, her regular collaborator Marcus White, and ttoh, and produced and mixed by White. “Beck n Call” is now available worldwide on all streaming services from Sub Pop.
 
“Beck n Call” follows the release of her spring 2025 single “Amiss” and the 2023 Sub Pop debut EP, foam. The latter release led to international acclaim, including a cover of Sweden’s music magazine GAFFA, and coverage from the likes of Bandcamp Daily, CLASH, The FACE, The FADER, The Guardian, The Line of Best Fit, The New York Times, NPR Music, PASTE, Stereogum, and more. Foam also earned waterbaby two 2024 Swedish Grammy Nominations, including “Newcomer of the Year” and “Composer of the Year” (for collaborator White).

 
What people have said about waterbaby:
“waterbaby makes music that is funny, heartfelt and intimate, cramming earworm hooks into warped bedroom pop production.” The Guardian
 
With themes about love and loneliness, Egerbladh’s songs both break you and build you back up.” “Essential Releases” - Bandcamp Daily
 
“Under the gaze of auto-tuned vocals and alt-rock textures, waterbaby has forged something wholly original and awing.” [“911”] PASTE
 
“I was a big fan of ‘Airforce blue,’ the indie-pop-ish, R&B-ish Stockholm singer waterbaby’s first single for Sub Pop. I’m an even bigger fan of the next one. “911,” out today, heralds the impending arrival of waterbaby’s Foam EP. It’s a low-key love song built around a cozy little acoustic guitar figure that plays as a nest for waterbaby’s soft, digitally affected vocals.” STEREOGUM
 
“The emergency number in Stockholm, the home of the songwriter who calls herself waterbaby, is 112. But in this drowsily understated bedroom-pop song, she clearly has an eye on an American audience: “Call me when you need someone/I could be your 911,” she sings, adding “we-ooh, we-ooh” like a two-note emergency siren. It’s a tentative, guarded offer of affection — “Maybe we could go somewhere/Maybe we could be something” — sung breathily and hesitantly, trying to keep expectations modest.”  [“911”] “The Playlist,” THE NEW YORK TIMES
 
“Airforce blue” flips waterbaby’s indie R&B into an electrified, auto-tuned collage with an easy intimacy.” BROOKLYN VEGAN
 
“An unguarded DIY R&B moment coming out of the Swedish capital.” [“Airforce blue”] THE FADER
 
“…a real jewel, a thrilling and evocative slice of future-facing pop.” [“Airforce blue”] “Track of the Day,” CLASH
 
“A black girl freeing herself through experimentation is inherently groundbreaking, and waterbaby is making comfortable room for herself in the lo-fi realm. Delivering wistful vocals and melancholic indie-pop on her latest EP Foam, we’re getting to know the singer through open veins and a raw lens.” Ones to Watch
