Overview
- The duo announced Ow on Tuesday, July 21, setting a September 11, 2026 release date and naming Psychic Hotline as the label for their first self-issued full-length.
- They have already released singles from the record, including “Hot Slob” last month and “Concrete Glen,” which uses a sample of Sigur Rós’s “Svefn-g-englar.”
- Meath and Sanborn produced the album after extended sessions that began in 2022 at their Betty’s studio in Chapel Hill and deliberately expanded arrangements and textures.
- Ow credits a large roster of contributors—including BJ Burton, Glenn Kotche, Jenn Wasner and six different drummers—reflecting a wider instrumental palette than past records.
- The band will host global listening events on September 3 and begin a North American tour on October 1 that runs into 2027, a campaign that follows their 2025 withdrawal of their catalog from Spotify.
