Noah Kahan The Great Divide officially lands today, April 24, 2026 — his fourth studio album and first full-length release in four years, following the cultural juggernaut that was Stick Season.
The Vermont singer-songwriter’s new record stretches across 17 tracks, pressed as a 2LP set on Mercury Records. Kahan reunited with Stick Season collaborator Gabe Simon and brought in The National’s Aaron Dessner as a new co-producer — a pairing that pulls Kahan’s New England folk roots even closer to the indie-rock world. The album was written in pieces between Nashville studios, a pond in Guilford, Vermont, and a farm in Only, Tennessee.
Kahan describes the record as a reckoning with silence and distance — with family, with old friends, with his younger self. Lead single “The Great Divide” arrived in late January, followed by “Porch Light” in March, which features family vocals and Dessner’s hand in the writing. Rolling Stone gave the album 4.5 out of 5 stars.
For collectors, the release comes in several color variants — including translucent “beer bottle” and “American Rust” pressings. Swing by Recycled Records LP this weekend to dig through our new arrivals and see what just landed on the shelves.
