April 4

Djo – ‘The Crux’

Joe Keery is back, and he’s bringing us The Crux—an album that’s about to be the soundtrack of your existential crises (but make it groovy). Recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios, this one’s packed with synthy goodness, introspective bops, and the kind of vibes that make you question if you’re just a basic being being basic. With singles like Basic Being Basic and Delete Ya, plus a world tour in full swing, Keery is proving he’s not just “the End of Beginning guy.” April 4—mark your calendars. Or don’t. But you’ll regret it.

Parmalee – ‘Fell In Love With A Cowgirl’

Saddle up, y’all—Parmalee is back with Fell In Love With A Cowgirl, a seven-track collection of country charm, heart, and honky-tonk energy. Led by the infectious single Cowgirl, this album is all about stepping out of your comfort zone, falling hard, and loving every second of it. With songwriting heavyweights like Ashley Gorley and Michael Tyler on board, expect anthems tailor-made for long drives and summer nights. Plus, this is just part one of a two-album set—so consider this your first ride. April 4, country lovers.

Elton John & Brandi Carlile – ‘Who Believes In Angels?’

Two legends, one album—Who Believes in Angels? is bringing the magic of Elton John and Brandi Carlile together for a collaboration we didn’t know we needed but now can’t live without. Written and recorded in just 20 days, this album promises soaring melodies, raw emotion, and the kind of storytelling that only icons can deliver. With Bernie Taupin on lyrics, Chad Smith on drums, and a music video set inside a Captain Fantastic pinball machine (yes, really), this one’s bound to be unforgettable.

Bon Iver – ‘SABLE, fABLE’ 

Justin Vernon is back, and he’s bringing a two-part odyssey of heartbreak and healing. SABLE, is Bon Iver at its rawest. A stripped-down, three-song reckoning with pain, regret, and the weight of it all. Then comes fABLE, the rebirth. Gone are the hushed confessions; in their place, radiant, open-hearted declarations of love, desire, and renewal. It’s a journey from shadow to light, from solitude to connection. Minimalism meets lush pop, and somewhere in between, Vernon finds clarity. Two records, one story; no fairy tale, just the truth.

Jon Pardi – ‘Honkeytonk Hollywood’

Neon lights, steel guitars, and a whole lotta twang. Jon Pardi’s Honkytonk Hollywood is here to crank up the volume on country music. With 17 tracks, including the boot-stomping Friday Night Heartbreaker and the title track, this album isn’t just a new chapter—it’s a full-blown honky-tonk revival. Pardi has made a career out of keeping country gritty, heartfelt, and damn fun, and this time, he’s doubling down. Fiddle, steel, heartbreak, and late-night anthems. Buckle up.

Julien Baker & Torres – ‘Send a Prayer My Way’ 

What happens when two indie rock powerhouses trade reverb for twang? You get Send A Prayer My Way, the long-awaited country album from Julien Baker and TORRES. Years in the making, this record dives headfirst into outlaw tradition—songs of addiction, regret, and bad decisions, but also resilience, humor, and second (or third) chances. With their signature raw lyricism and fearless storytelling, Baker and TORRES remind us that country music isn’t just about heartache, it’s about survival.

Viagra Boys – ‘viagr aboys’ 

Swedish punk provocateurs Viagra Boys return with viagr aboys, out April 25 via Shrimptech Enterprises. Trading the political satire of Cave World for a self-deprecating spiral into absurdity, frontman Sebastian Murphy embraces life’s chaos with humor, nihilism, and a healthy dose of burps. Lead single “Man Made of Meat” sets the tone, skewering internet culture, existential dread, and LL Bean sweaters in equal measure. At the end of the world, Murphy knows his role: a bag of meat with a microphone, making it all feel a little less stupid.

Broncho – ‘Natural Pleasure’ 

Oklahoma indie rockers Broncho return with Natural Pleasure, their first album in six years, out April 25. Known for their ever-evolving sound, the band—Ryan Lindsey, Ben King, Penny Pitchlynn, and Nathan Price—embraces reinvention once again. Lead singles “Funny” and “Imagination” set the tone, blending self-reflection with playful irreverence. Recorded at Blackwatch Studios in Oklahoma and finished at Sonic Ranch in Texas, Natural Pleasurepromises a raw, unpredictable, and deeply human listening experience.
