Hear The New Father John Misty Single “The Old Law”
Today, January 9th, 2026, Father John Misty’s “The Old Law” is a new single available on all digital streaming services worldwide from Sub Pop. The song was produced by Drew Erickson and Josh Tillman, mixed by Michael Harris and Jonathan Wilson at Fivestar Studios in Los Angeles, and mastered by Adam Amyan at Ayan Mastering. “The Old Law” is previously known to Father John Misty fans as “God’s Trash” and debuted as part of the live set in the fall of 2024.
A little over a year later, “The Old Law” single follows the release of Mahashmashana, Father John Misty’s sixth long player in twelve years, released in November 2024.
The Western US leg of Father John Misty’s previously announced international headlining and festival tour dates in support of Mahashmashama kick off Monday, March 23rd in Ventura, CA at the Majestic Ventura Theater and run through Sunday, May 17th in Pomona, CA at The Fox Theater.
Along this run, Father John Misty has scheduled two-night stands at the historic The Castro Theatre in San Francisco (March 24th+25th), and at The Paramount Theatre in Seattle (Apr. 3rd +4th). He will also headline at Boise’s Treefort Festival (Mar. 29th).
Father John Misty’s UK & EU run will start on Monday, June 1st in Lisbon, PT at Sagres Campo Pequeno and end on Sunday, June 14th in Wicklow, IE with a headlining set at Beyond The Pale Festival. Highlights for this run include appearances at Primavera Festival in Barcelona, ES (Jun. 4th), and Northside Festival in Aarhus, DK (Jun. 6th) and Father John Misty’s first headlining shows in Portugal in eight years.
Variety says of his July 2025 headlining performance at The Greek Theatre, “He’s one of contemporary music’s greatest lyricists and one of our loveliest melodists (a good combo, when you can find it, by the way), so there’s usually some kind of euphoric effect even in distemper or dystopia. His wish is our command when it comes to actually enjoying stuff that sounds more challenging on paper, or even on vinyl, than it does in the flesh.”
Tickets for these shows are on sale now. Please visit Father John Misty’s official website for further ticketing info.

Lala Lala Announces New Album, Heaven 2, Out Feb 27th & North American Tour
“One of the most refreshing voices in indie.” — Paste
“An increasingly rare artist who sees indie pop as more than just wallpaper, Lala Lala has steadily built a discography that aims boldly for the heart.” — FADER
Lala Lala, the project of Lillie West, announces her new album and Sub Pop debut, Heaven 2, out February 27th, and a North American tour (on sale Jan. 9th). In conjunction, she releases two new singles, “Heaven2” and “Even Mountains Erode,” which follow the existential “Does This Go Faster?,” a tone setter for Heaven 2 which “glimmers with champagne-bubbly synths and percussion” (FLOOD).
West has always made her music in response to an itchiness to always be moving, but as she developed a burgeoning desire to settle, she found the surprise realization that steadiness can beget creativity. That evolutionary tension is what fuels Heaven 2. The album was co-produced by West and Jay Som’s Melina Duterte, who provides a strong punchiness as a bed for West’s warm, rounded vocals. Duterte and West performed almost all of the album’s instruments with a few crucial guests, including Sen Morimoto, Macie Stewart and Porches’ Aaron Maine.
For many years, West lived in Chicago, where she established Lala Lala as an integral part of the city’s indie scene, releasing two albums – The Lamb (2018) and I Want the Door to Open (2021) – on the Sub Pop imprint Hardly Art. They were powerful statements from a curious artist: catchy guitar-pop songs about being stuck in the ups and downs of life, the struggle to stay sober, to leave town, to blow up your life.
West left Chicago to search for more, and in the process, wrote Heaven 2. On her journey, she landed off the grid in Taos, New Mexico, then made her way to Iceland, where she lived on and off for two years, with the off being in London, where she grew up. Following a residency in a tiny Icelandic town, she made her way to Reykjavik and released an instrumental album, If I Were A Real Man I Would Be Able To Break The Neck Of A Suffering Bird (2024), and finally headed to Los Angeles, where she has, almost surprisingly, fallen in love and found herself settled. It’s been a good place to live, not because she particularly likes or dislikes L.A., but because she’s discovered that, as she puts it, “wherever you go, there you are.” This sentiment permeates throughout Heaven 2.
Take “Even Mountains Erode” in which West sings about how it’s ultimately okay to be on one’s own: “There are symbols and signs, you’re missing your life // You’re under a threat, that you can’t feel yet // And if you need to be free, I don’t see what you see // But I’m not opposed // Even mountains erode.” And the melodramatic “Heaven2,” written at a time of feeling defeated. West’s vocals build like a cloud swelling before a storm, synths sweep across the song, the drums patter like raindrops on a car roof, and then the whole sky opens up, with a massive instrumental outro taken straight from the demo.
Watch the Video for “Even Mountains Erode”
Catharsis is not only about the pain, but the escape that happens when you free yourself of it. And so there are moments of bold joy on the album, too. “Resistance is the root of all suffering, and I did not know that,” says West. “I thought that I could dictate the course of my life.” Of course, like everyone else, she could not. Wherever you go, there you are.
Heaven 2 is now available to preorder on CD/LP/all DSPs from Sub Pop. LPs purchased from megamart.subpop.com, MegaMart Europe in the UK + EU, and your local record store, will receive the limited Loser Edition on Ocean Blue (NA) and Crystal Clear (UK/EU) vinyl, while supplies last.

Sub Pop To Release sunn O)))’s Self-Titled New Album Worldwide On Friday, April 3rd, 2026
On Friday, April 3rd, 2026, sunn O))) will release their eponymously titled first full-length album for Sub Pop.
sunn O))) was co-produced & mixed by the band and Brad Wood (Hum, Tar, Sunny Day Real Estate, Liz Phair), and was recorded at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, Washington, January 2025. You can now listen to the album’s closing track, “Glory Black.”
sunn O))) is available for preorder on CD/2xLP/all DSPs worldwide from Sub Pop. LP preorders through the North American Sub Pop Mega Mart will receive the limited Loser edition on opaque blue vinyl; preorders through Mega Mart Europe will receive the Loser Edition on oxblood vinyl (UK/EU) with reversed cover art. The Loser Editions will also be available at your local record store. There are also two new T-shirts (long and short sleeve) and a baseball hat available (US-only) (All vinyl colors and album merch available while stock lasts!).
Framing the album visually are two paintings by the late American artist Mark Rothko - one on the front cover and one on the back cover, with the art reversed for UK & European pressings. The CD and LP package also includes expansive liner notes by author Robert Macfarlane, whose 2025 novel Is a River Alive? is among the many sources of inspiration for the album. And, illustrations by French artist Elodie Lesourd are also featured on the inner LP sleeves and accompanying album merch.
sunn O))) recently sat for an interview with The New York Times, who say of the new album: “The result — captured with exceptional vividness by Brad Wood…is a hyperdistilled version of its core aesthetic, in which snarling distortion and glinting feedback ooze from the speakers like the dense fog that fills the air at the band’s shows (See January 13th, 2026 feature).”
sunn O)) is also announcing new initial North American headlining shows for 2026 in support of the album. Additional incoming live dates will be announced soon.
Tickets for the below shows will go on sale to the general public on Friday, January 16th at 10 am (local).

More on sunn O))):
For nearly 30 years, sunn O))) – Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson – have pushed the boundaries of heavy music, straddling the worlds of the avant-garde and rock to forge a style instantly recognisable as their own. Now, sunn O))) return with their first album of new material since 2019’s acclaimed Pyroclasts. Their tenth album – their debut for Sub Pop – demonstrates the duo’s mastery of time and space, light and dark, and their willingness to evolve their unmistakable sound into bold new forms.
The eponymously titled sunn O))) was tracked at Bear Creek Studios, Woodinville, Washington with Brad Wood. This location proved crucial to the recording process. “The vast tracking room had big windows looking out on trees,” says O’Malley. “We could go hiking and be out in the woods, spend time outdoors. That became a big part of it.”
sunn O))) have long welcomed collaborators into their self-contained world: past work has featured, Attila Csihar (Mayhem), composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, multi-instrumentalist Steve Moore, polymath Mark Deutrom, Silkworm’s Tim Midyett and legendary singer-songwriter Scott Walker. But on this album O’Malley and Anderson found fresh possibilities in the primal territory of the duo format, performing all the instrumentation themselves. “What’s been happening with our performances over the last couple years with the two of us and no other collaborators has been really fresh and exciting,” says Anderson.
The compositions on sunn O))) are expansive and panoramic yet finely detailed, reflecting the arboreal setting in which they were recorded. Amidst howling feedback and glacial crunch, one finds surprisingly delicate moments: a field recording of water trickles beneath, piano interludes lend a hushed, solemn feel. All while the duo attains fresh heights of telepathic intensity as they shape music that breathes the bracing, earthy air of the Pacific Northwest.
Framing the album visually are two paintings by the late American artist Mark Rothko. Liner notes are by award-winning British writer Robert Macfarlane, famed for his works concerning landscape and the relationship between humanity and nature. Through the work of the band, Macfarlane, and Rothko, sound, word and visual combine into a fully immersive experience that is undeniably, completely sunn O))) (read full bio at Sub Pop).
