Noah Kahan - The Great Divide [2LP Rust]

Noah Kahan follows the runaway success of Stick Season with The Great Divide, a 17-song album spread across two LPs pressed on rust coloured vinyl.

His fourth studio album, released in 2026, was produced by Kahan with longtime collaborator Gabe Simon and Aaron Dessner of The National. The songs were written in Nashville, beside a pond in Guilford, Vermont, and on a Tennessee farm with a fire tower, with recording spread between Dessner's Long Pond studio in New York's Hudson Valley, Guilford Sound in Vermont and Nashville.

The sound stays firmly rooted in folk and Americana, with warm acoustic arrangements that swell into full-band folk rock when the feelings get too big to whisper. Justin Vernon is among the musicians credited, a fitting presence given Dessner's long history with Bon Iver.

The title track arrived first as a single, followed by "Porch Light" and "Doors", while opener "End of August" sets the scene with the kind of small-town detail Kahan has made his trademark.

It debuted at number one in both the US and the UK, and spread generously over two discs it gives fans a full evening's worth of songs to sit with and sing straight back to him.
