Releases of the week

Folk releases, week 39

· 30 releases

This week in folk music, new albums from Julia Jacklin, Agnes Obel, and Mary Gauthier highlight introspective storytelling, while collaborations like Apocalyptica and Kalandra’s 'Upperhand' and Tom Morello’s project with Serj Tankian and others expand the genre’s sonic boundaries. Releases from Blondshell, Emma Ruth Rundle, and Camille introduce fresh voices and experimental textures, alongside reissues and retrospectives, including Neil Young’s 50th album and a long-lost Bruce Springsteen video. The spotlight also falls on emerging acts like ĠENN and The Mary Wallopers, as well as enduring figures such as Phoebe Bridgers and Bob Dylan, whose expansive archival release looms ahead. Meanwhile, tributes and reflections on legacy underscore the genre’s deep roots and ongoing evolution.
