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, which also includes the singles “Say Something” and “Pulling Up Roots,” 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 will be available on CD/LP/Digitally from Sub Pop. LP preorders from
megamart.subpop.com in North America,
Mega Mart Europe in the UK and EU, and
your local record store will receive the limited Loser edition on Metallic Gold vinyl (while supplies last).

What People Are Saying About Sera Cahoone:
“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, singer-songwriter, musician, and producer Sera Cahoone is sharing details on behalf of I’ve Missed You All These Years, her forthcoming new album, available worldwide on Friday, August 28th from Sub Pop. She is also sharing the official video for her new single “Pulling Up Roots,” directed by E. Ryan McMackin (watch here).
Sera says of the track, “‘Pulling Up Roots’ is about getting to the other side and experiencing growth and momentum after a challenging time.”
The eight years that shaped I’ve Missed You All These Years were marked by profound change: Sera Cahoone lost her best friend, her father, and her dog all within a short time period. But this record is emphatically not about the darkness; it’s about what happens after the storm clears, the moment when you begin to come back into your body after a dark winter. This sense of lightness is evident on the piano and electric guitar that rev to life on “Say Something” and the intricate portrait of “Hits Right.”
I’ve Missed You All These Years captures the sound of ecstatic collaboration between exceptionally talented friends. You can hear it in the barroom swing of “Pulling Up Roots,” the sigh of a pedal steel on “Not How I Had Hoped,” the breezy falsetto on “Say Something.” It’s a record about finding comfort in community; about rediscovering yourself by connecting with the people you love.
On her sixth record, Cahoone is in full command of her powers. In its ability to hold loss and connection in the same hand, I’ve Missed You All These Years is triumphant, a celebration of life rooted in the knowledge of its fleeting nature.

To celebrate the I’ve Missed You All These Years announcement, Seattle fans can catch a free, intimate in-store performance from Sera Cahoone at Sub Pop’s new retail location on the Seattle Waterfront later today at 5:00PM.

Sera Cahoone recently celebrated her return to Sub Pop with “Say Something,” which is also on I’ve Missed You All These Years and available now on all streaming services. Gold Flake Paint says of the track, “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.

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.
