Indie folk releases, week 42

This week in indie folk, new collaborations and solo projects take center stage, from Fontaines D.C. and Rosalía’s atmospheric 'Where Is Gone?' to Grian Chatten’s upcoming second solo album. Artists like Big Thief, Eels, and Marika Hackman expand their discographies with archival releases, new albums, and reissues, while Flora Hibberd and Zach Bryan explore evolving sonic landscapes. The genre also sees cross-genre intersections, with Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan’s remix featuring David Byrne, and Cameron Winter’s concert film unveiled through a Paul Thomas Anderson teaser. Meanwhile, live recordings and retrospective releases highlight the enduring presence of intimate, storytelling-driven music.
