Iron & Wine has announced the release of Hen’s Teeth (Deluxe Edition), available worldwide on September 22nd from Sub Pop. This expanded edition features six new recordings in total: four previously unreleased songs along with acoustic versions of two fan favorites from Hen’s Teeth (see full track list below).
The four unreleased songs come from sessions done in Los Angeles during the recording of sibling records Light Verse and Hen’s Teeth. “California Sober,” available today, was the last song written and recorded during the sessions, and its playful nature, hinted at in the title, is the perfect way to wind down summer while easing into fall.
Along with “California Sober,” Iron & Wine is also sharing an acoustic version of “In Your Ocean,” which captured the hearts and attention of fans at radio when it was released earlier this year. This acoustic version brings an intimate take on this beloved song.
Hen’s Teeth was released in February of this year and featured two duets with the multi-Grammy-winning band, I’m With Her, along with a cast of musicians including Griffin Goldsmith, Sebastian Steinberg, David Garza, Beth Goodfellow, Paul Cartwright, Tyler Chester, and Kyle Crane.
As previously announced, the band will begin their North American headline tour on October 8th in Denver, CO, with shows in Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tucson, Dallas, and Memphis. The tour concludes on October 29th in Columbia, SC. See below for a complete list of shows. Tickets can be purchased here.

Today, Sub Pop welcomes NYC-based multidisciplinary artist Lex Walton to the label, releasing her music worldwide in 2026 and beyond.
In celebration of today’s announcement, she is releasing her unwavering and iconoclastic seven-song label debut, ULTIMATE LOVE FOREVER, which is out now on all streaming platforms from Sub Pop. Watch the blaring, absurdist official video for the record highlight, “Hipster Runoff,” directed by and starring Lex.
Lex says of the video, “In this video I tried to capture the lifespan of the blogosphere buzzband aughts-rocker with all of its triumphs and valleys and particular cruelties, culminating in the natural gasps of dextrorotatory histrionics when irony fails, and one is faced with the possibility of fading into obscurity forever. Starring yours truly as The Hipster Runoff, of course.”
All songs on ULTIMATE LOVE FOREVER were written by Lex Walton, produced by Lex and Dan Boeckner, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Ben Greenberg at Thump and Circular Ruin in Williamsburg, with assistant engineer Alice Cohen.
ULTIMATE LOVE FOREVER features guest appearances from Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs), Emerson Borakove, Alice Cohen, Brendan Dunphy, Emily Green (Geese), Greenberg (Uniform, The Men), Scotty Malcolm, Sarah Neufeld (Arcade Fire), and Sam Revaz (Geese)

Lex Walton (née Alex) is an American songwriter, actress, prose poet, and filmmaker whose work is defined by an unflinching confessionality and live performances by ecstatic masochism and flailing. In addition to her catalog of a dozen or so mostly home-recorded albums, EPs and singles, she has also recorded collaborations with Devi McCallion (Black Dresses, Girls Rituals), Geese, and Ezra Furman, written the pop music manifesto The Sound Rocker’s Prayer, and starred as lead character “Circle” in Louise Weard’s five-hour epic film Castration Movie Anthology II: The Best Of Both Worlds.
PASTE says of her song “I Wish I Was An M80”: “Walton’s wiggly, anxious power pop wades through pages of dead links and forum threads to get to its incendiary hooks … anachronistic collage of Edwardian portrait artists, country greats, and noise rock heroes…a roadside altar …With its lo-fi hissing and tongue-twisting one-liners....” The Quietus offers this: “For fans of early Jonathan Richman, NYC gutter punks Dollhouse, or staring at the fluorescent lights of the Walgreens ceiling on your third day withdrawing from psych meds, barely able to parse the words ‘Medicaid coverage has lapsed’ as a pharmacist misgenders you. And also, later Jonathan Richman.”
ULTIMATE LOVE FOREVER will also be available on CD/LP on Friday, November 20th from Sub Pop. LP preorders in North America from megamart.subpop.com, in the EU/UK from Mega Mart Europe, and your local record store will receive the limited Loser edition on “Opaque Blue” vinyl (all vinyl colors while supplies last).
Lex will host a Bandcamp listening party later today, at noon PST/3 pm EST. She will also support Wolf Parade’s show in Seattle on Sunday, November 29th. Additional live dates coming soon.
Tracklisting: 1. For Thee I Sing 2. Hipster Runoff 3. Yr Op-Ed Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore 4. USA = FAG NATION 5. I Wish I Was An M80 6. Adrian Borland Will Have His Revenge On London 7. Ultimate Love 4Ever
Sera Cahoone is sharing the official video for “Hits Right” from her new album, I’ve Missed You All These Years, out today, Friday, August 28th worldwide from Sub Pop.
The sweet and triumphant “Hits Right” visual was directed by Tony Fulgham and shot by Carrie Robinson at Cowgirls, Inc. in Seattle. It finds Sera sitting in a bar, watching her friends have fun, wishing she could do the same, and fantasizing about what it would be like not to be uptight and lonely.
Sera will support I’ve Missed You All These Years with live dates this fall. On Saturday, September 5th at Seattle’s Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. Later in the month, she’ll head out to the East Coast and Midwest US for a string of dates beginning Friday, September 18th in Nashville, TN, with a show at Brown’s Diner during AMERICANAFEST (for the NITO Indie Spotlight, 4-8 pm). The tour will continue through Saturday, October 3rd in Medford, MA at Deep Cuts. The tour will include stops in Minneapolis, Chicago, Vienna (VA), Philadelphia, Ridgewood (NY), and Medford (MA).

On I’ve Missed You All These Years, her sixth record, Cahoone is in full command of her powers. In its ability to hold loss and connection in the same hand, the album is triumphant, a celebration of life rooted in the knowledge of its fleeting nature. The product of a lifetime spent performing and producing music, the album traverses blues, folk, pop, and country, evoking Loretta Lynn in one song and Lucinda Williams in the next. It’s a testament to the strength that creativity and community brings, a portrait of an artist who knows herself completely.
I’ve Missed You All These Years includes the singles “Say Something,”“Pulling Up Roots,” and “Not How I Hoped,” and was co-produced by Sera Cahoone and John Morgan Askew at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, WA, mixed by Askew at Scenic Burrows in Vancouver, WA, and mastered by JJ Golden at Golden Mastering.
I’ve Missed You All These Years is available now on CD/LP/Digitally from Sub Pop. LPs purchased from megamart.subpop.com in North America, Mega Mart Europe in the UK and EU, Sera’s live shows, and your local record store will receive the limited Loser edition on Metallic Gold vinyl (while supplies last).
Sera sat for an interview with No Depression earlier this month about the new album. Read her “Artist Spotlight” here.
What People Are Saying About Sera Cahoone: “A new album from the Colorado-to-Seattle songwriter is a rare gift, and her first since 2017 feels familiar, nostalgic and sad. Its sturdy country-folk songs are decorated with small details: a winking electric piano, the deep sigh of a cello, steel guitar like the whistle of a distant train.” 8/10, UNCUT
“Time out of the spotlight helped develop and refine Cahoone’s sense of rhythm, her approach to collaborating with other artists, and ability to home in on the exact sound she wants in the studio. These profound breakthroughs are noticeable throughout her new solo album, the aptly titled I’ve Missed You All These Years, which is quite possibly her strongest and most realized collection of music to date.” No Depression
“I’ve Missed You All These Years stands above the others in her catalog. From the acoustic guitar walk-down on the opener “High and Low” to the lax finger-picking pattern on the final song “Something Good,” the arrangements have that sense of effortlessness that comes from musicians who have worked together many times before (and aren’t bored with each other). Nothing strains to make a point here, as everything seems to simply settle into place” GLIDE
“Shaped by a gorgeous backing of guitar, piano, and Hammond organ, the rich-n-swaying ballad finds Cahoone singing with a well-worn smile flickering at the edges, a flash of light that balances the heavy-hearted nature of the lyrics. Framing a portrait of strained but wholly vital domesticity, Cahoone’s voice is full of tenderness, holding a sense of yearning that is palpable in the weight it carries.” (“Say Something”) Gold Flake Paint
“Her new album I’ve Missed You All These Years, out August 28, is so richly tuneful and full it sounds as if it could’ve come out at any time since about 1968. It’s previewed by Say Something, which is a little bit Emmylou Harris, a bit Loretta Lynn, even quite Joan Baez, a lot Weyes Blood – and wouldn’t you love to hear them together?” The New Cue

Today, Thursday, June 18th, 2026, Cartel Madras returns with the sleek drum and bass single “EVIDENT 2 ME,” a new collaboration with Toronto-based producer Jide.
“EVIDENT 2 ME” is Cartel Madras’s first transmission since the release of their acclaimed 2021 project The Serpent & The Tiger. The duo arrives with vengeance on their mind and adventure laid out before them.
Blending militant rap, electronic music, jungle, industrial textures, and cinematic worldbuilding, “EVIDENT 2 ME” pushes Cartel Madras deeper into their own universe: one unconcerned with trend cycles and obsessed instead with atmosphere, tension, and transformation.
The song is available now worldwide on all streaming services from Sub Pop and in Canada through Royal Mountain Records. The official video for “EVIDENT 2 ME” was directed by FOREIGNERZ (@sansfuccs).
This weekend, Cartel Madras team up with Toronto producer Jairus Sharif for a performance at the 2026 edition of Sled Island Festival in Calgary, AB, supporting labelmates Clipping at The Palace Theatre on Saturday, June 20th. Additional live dates will be announced soon.
Cartel Madras is currently at work on their full-length studio album due out early 2027 on Sub Pop Records and Royal Mountain Records.
About Cartel Madras Following the release of Cartel Madras’s 2021 project The Serpent & The Tiger, sisters Eboshi and Contra spent the years that followed dismantling and rebuilding the project’s foundations entirely. Refining their sound and visual universe behind the scenes, the duo emerged for select moments: appearing on Clipping’s “Mirrorshades Pt. 2” from Dead Channel Sky, opening for M.I.A. during her debut performance in India in 2023, and landing music within the EA Sports FC universe.
In 2026, Cartel Madras returns with a new single, “EVIDENT 2 ME,” a drum and bass collaboration with Toronto Producer Jide, that finds Eboshi and Contra with vengeance on their minds and adventure laid out before them.
Born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and raised in Alberta, Cartel Madras crafts a cultural syncretism of house, trap, punk, industrial electronics, and razor-sharp rap. Known for explosive live performances that channel the energy of underground queer and punk scenes, the duo has built a reputation for music that is confrontational, playful, cinematic, and impossible to pin down. In 2018, they signed to Sub Pop Records, releasing three acclaimed EPs alongside a growing body of striking visual work directed and produced through their own multidisciplinary practice.
Cartel Madras has shared stages with artists including JPEGMAFIA, Jack Harlow, Wu-Tang Clan, clipping., Mac DeMarco, and supported Sudan Archives. Alongside their music career, Eboshi and Contra have expanded their artistic universe into film, installation, and visual storytelling through their production house FOREIGNERZ, creating immersive worlds that blur the boundaries between music, cinema, fashion, and contemporary art.
What people have said about Cartel Madras: “They’ve got an absolutely wicked flow…Hints of traditional Tamil music are sprinkled throughout.” STEREOGUM
“Cartel Madras are smashing barriers musically and are sure to blow your mind with their uniqueness.” CLASH
“Age of the Goonda is an invigorating five-track blast… More, please.” The Wire
“…possesses layered bass lines pumped with adrenaline, a range of Indian classical instruments weaved in and hooks that stay in your brain for days.” NME
“Age of the Goonda provides an electrifying burst of the duo’s live show energy in concentrated form.” Loud & Quiet
“With a carousel of bad-ass, no-fucks-given, brown girl anthems, Cartel Madras is brought to life by two sisters who don’t shy of braggadocio (you can’t miss their stack of gold jewelry) as they spout songs about feminism, empowerment and inclusivity.” Vogue India
Today, Thursday, May 14th, 2026, Sub Pop is pleased to welcome (back) Sera Cahoone, the talented singer-songwriter, musician, and producer, to the label’s roster, with plans to release her new music in 2026 and beyond. To celebrate her return, Cahoone is sharing the official video for her new song, the twangy lover’s lament “Say Something,” which is out today on all streaming services.
“Say Something” was co-produced by Cahoone and John Morgan Askews at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, WA, mixed by Askews at Scenic Burrows in Vancouver, WA, and mastered by JJ Golden at Golden Mastering.
Sera Cahoone also breaks a leg (literally!) and stars in the accompanying official video for the song, in which she portrays a worker at a local skating rink, singing about a past love as the patrons pass her by. The sweet new visual is directed by Bella Petro.
Cahoone says of the video, “Filming this video was an absolute blast, walking boot and all! If I had it my way, I would have had the skaters in the video the entire time. They were incredibly entertaining to watch. Bella and Brennan did a fantastic job.”
Sera Cahoone has been a fixture on the Seattle music scene since relocating to the Pacific Northwest in 1998. She played drums with slowcore legends Carissa’s Wierd until they split in 2003. Cahoone joined her CW alums in Band of Horses, playing on their certified Gold 2006 album Everything All the Time.
That same year, Sera Cahoone released a self-titled debut that established her as a singular songwriter and gifted guitarist. Cahoone signed with Sub Pop soon after, releasing 2008’s Only as the Day Is Long and 2012’s Deer Creek Canyon. She followed the Sub Pop run by self-releasing 2017’s rollicking and raucous From Where I Started.
In the 8 years following that album, Sera Cahoone experienced profound loss. She channeled the heartbreak into writing songs, playing shows, and developing her skills as a producer and drummer, producing three records for friends like Dean Johnson and Margo Cilker.
Now in 2026, Sera Cahoone reemerges with “Say Something,” a cathartic new song with a sense of lightness throughout – from the carefree piano to the electric guitar that revs it to life. It features contributions from longtime friends and collaborators Jeff Fielder (acoustic, electric guitar), Daniel Walker (piano, Hammond organ), Jonas Haskins (bass), and Aaron O’Neil (drums), with John Askew overseeing production (producer of Cahoone’s From Where I Started).
Sera Cahoone is currently putting the finishing touches on her new album, due out later this year from Sub Pop.
Today, June 25th, Australia’s Girl and Girl have shared two new digital singles, “Hell” b/w an official video for their song “It’s Dead.”
The band’s front person, Kai Aubort, shares this about the video/single for “It’s Dead”: “We’re always hinting at death in our music, talking about it in such roundabout ways, so I thought it was about time I just came out and said it … IT’S DEAD!!!!”
You can watch the official video directed by Alexandros Kalas below.
The “Hell” and “It’s Dead” singles are Girl and Girl’s first new material since the release of the band’s 2025 singles “Okay” and “The Cow,” and their 2024 debut full-length, Call A Doctor, which Rolling Stone Australia called “emotional mayhem that’s relatable and very catchy.”
The band is also announcing a seven-date Australian run, beginning on July 17th at Coolangatta, QLD, with additional shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Byron Bay, and the Gold Coast. Please see a full list of shows below.
Fri. Jul. 17 - Coolangatta, QLD - Coolangatta Hotel (Inner Realm Party) Sat. Jul. 25 - Brisbane, QLD - The Junk Bar (18+) Sat. Jul. 25 - Brisbane, QLD - The Junk Bar (All Ages) Fri. Jul. 31 - Sydney, NSW - Northies Sat. Aug. 01 - Melbourne, VIC - The Curtin Fri. Aug. 07 - Byron Bay, NSW - Byron Arts Factory Sat. Aug. 08 - Gold Coast, QLD - Super Secret Block Party
What people are saying about Girl and Girl:
“A fantastic debut from a sparkly and singular new band.” [Call The Doctor] NME
“A perfect dose of indie – punk rock at its best.” - [“Hello”] Happy Mag
“A warped mix of Talking Heads, Rolling Blackouts and bits of post-punk but led by a man with a mullet and one of their aunts plays drums in the band!” - [SXSW Review] BBC 6 Music
“Brisbane four-piece Girl and Girl are ones to watch in the world of sharp-tongued raucous-riffed garage rock…Girl and Girl’s all too rare multigenerational collaboration brings a fresh angle on the post-Strokes garage rock sound.” KUTX Radio
“Girl and Girl recall the stalwarts of 2010s garage rock, their affinity with jangly guitars and buoyant rhythms undercut by feverishly intense playing and a cloying sense of claustrophobia.” [Call The Doctor] DIY
