This morning, Noah Kahan officially unveiled his highly anticipated fourth studio album, The Great Divide, set for release on April 24th. The announcement, shared across his social media, comes with a poetic reflection from Kahan:
From a long silence forms a divide, a great expanse demanding attention. I stare across it. I see old friends, my father, my mother, my siblings, my younger self, the great state of Vermont. I want to scream these feelings, to gesticulate wildly at the figures on the other side, but my voice has grown hoarse and muted after years of climbing a ladder towards the wild, spiraling dreams that have materialized in front of me. Instead, I wrote them down next to a piano in Nashville, next to a pond in Guilford Vermont, in a legendary studio in upstate New York, on a farm with a firetower in Only, Tennessee. The songs are the words I would say if I could. They are the fears I dance with in the moments before I drift off to sleep. The music here is my best attempt to delve deeper into the people, places, and feelings that have made me who I am. I am grateful for all of it, for all of you, for listening to them, if you choose to do so.
My 4th album, The Great Divide, will be yours on April 24th, 2026. Pre-order and pre-save at the link in bio. First single out this Friday.
The Great Divide marks Kahan’s return to original studio material after years of touring and live releases. It was produced in collaboration with longtime collaborator Gabe Simon and Aaron Dessner (The National), with songs crafted across diverse locations that echo Kahan’s introspective, place-rooted songwriting style.
