Los Angeles-based artist Sylvie, the project of Ben Schwab, will release his debut album, “New Season,” on Ghostly International on November 6, 2026. The self-produced record was recorded primarily in Schwab’s home studio before being completed at Abbey Road, and features guest performances from Sierra Ferrell, Courtney Marie Andrews, Alex Amen, Kacy Lee Anderson and Will Worden.

According to the announcement, the album is structured in two parts, moving from the “hope and discovery” of morning into the “quiet reflection” of night, and draws on the sounds of Laurel Canyon and Nashville filtered through a contemporary sensibility. The label describes the project as a reflection of renewed faith and resilience following a period of hardship.

The 10-track album includes the singles “Are You Coming?,” “Not Looking Back Anymore” and “Rina,” the latter featuring Alex Amen, along with guest spots from Courtney Marie Andrews on “Guiding Star” and Sierra Ferrell on “California Hills.”
