Gothic folk artist Kira McSpice will release her new album The House on October 23 via Danger Collective, the third installment in her planned four-part series inspired by her Saturn return, according to the announcement. The 12-track LP was co-produced with Sean Brennan and Tyler Skoglund and recorded at The Granite Church in Redding, Connecticut, a former place of worship now operating as a nonprofit community space.

According to the announcement, the album explores McSpice’s childhood in Harlem, Georgia, drawing on a guided trance session and a subsequent visit to her former family home. She enlisted a choir of friends to sing on the record and incorporated field recordings of ambient sounds, including one segment originally recorded as background noise that was repurposed for the track “Wreckage,” a song about the death of a friend from epilepsy.

McSpice, a classically trained cellist who now performs on guitar and voice, describes the record as an effort to process family trauma and childhood grief through a lens of spirituality and Catholic upbringing. The single “Return” is out September 30 ahead of the full album release.

Nashville duo Burn the Treaty has released “There Was a Time,” a new single the act describes as part of its self-coined “Spooky Roots” style blending Americana, country, folk and rock. The song was written by the duo’s two members, singer/songwriter Morgan Bracy and Scott Carter, and was produced, engineered and mixed by Scott Gerow at Battery Lane Music.

According to the announcement, the track explores themes of cultural disposability and the tension between honoring the past and moving forward, centered on the lyric “I’m a victory flag that knows how to lose.” The recording features Nashville session musicians Brian Allen on bass, Billy Justineau on keyboards and Marcus Finnie on drums, with Gerow also playing guitar and banjo.

Bracy and Carter, who both took extended breaks from music before reconnecting at a gathering in North Carolina’s Nantahala National Forest, later married and formed Burn the Treaty in Nashville. The duo previously released the EP “Sticks and Stones,” produced by Mitch Dane, and has performed at venues including The Bluebird Cafe and 3rd & Lindsley. The single is out via EWOFU Records with distribution through DistroKid, and the pair plan additional singles through 2027 along with a return to the studio with Gerow next spring.

New Brunswick soul singer-songwriter Ayden Hutch has released his debut single, “Waitin’ On Your Lovin’,” the first preview of his debut album “Sadness, Anger, & Something Greater,” due October 2. Hutch, who studied jazz guitar at Cégep de Drummondville and has played in New Brunswick acts Ananas and petipé, recorded the project entirely to analog tape at Studio 345 in Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot, Quebec, with producer and longtime friend Sam Mallais.

According to the announcement, the album took shape over nearly two years and traces a difficult 2024 for Hutch, moving from heartbreak through anger to a newer, happier relationship, with songs sorted into those three emotional threads. Hutch says he wrote “Waitin’ On Your Lovin'” in about an hour, the day after meeting someone who has since become significant to him. The sessions also involved bassist-turned-drummer Sam Newman and bassist James Forest, both close friends of Hutch.

Hutch will support the release with a short fall tour backed by Newman, drummer Ismaël Chagnon and guitarist Loïk Martin, with dates announced in Moncton and Charlo, New Brunswick, and Drummondville, Quebec, from October 1-3.

Winnipeg drummer, composer and producer Esteban Seunarine has released his third album, “The Expanding Whatever,” on his own label, Rice and Beans, led by the single “Arts & Crafts for Robots.” The album follows the scrapping of a more elaborate, maximalist project earlier this year that Seunarine and collaborator Ben Kensok abandoned after feedback from their team and family; he says he then wrote the new record’s material in about a week.

The band, performing as Esteban Seunarine and The Kind Ghosts, tracked the album in two days at No Fun Club in Winnipeg with engineers Riley Hill and Nika Atefi, recording live off the floor without headphones. The sessions yielded 11 songs, trimmed to 10 during mixing, and the record was mastered by Jon Kaspy in Montreal. The lineup includes saxophonist Ben Kensok, bassist Aria Rempel, pianist Alanna Fast and guitarist Adam Ciric, with guest guitarist Emmanuel Bach appearing on the track “Varanda.”

Seunarine studied jazz performance at Brandon University and has performed alongside artists including Sara Gazarek, Jason Palmer and Luis Deniz, according to the announcement. He is also named as the recipient of the 2026 SABIAN Dom Famularo SEN Mentorship Award. The band is scheduled to perform Nov. 22 at the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg as part of Jazz Winnipeg’s Jazz at Fort Garry series.
