Jackie West “It’s me, baby, you”, Jackie West sings on the opening track of her new record, ‘Silent Century’ set to release February 27th, 2026 via Ruination Records. Like a hall of mirrors, West’s sophomore record unfolds like a playful conversation between the NYC/Hudson Valley-based artist and herself. What emerges is a remarkable portrait of femininity and fluidity, of violence and forgiveness, of our capacity to heal. The power of Silent Century resides in West’s ability to make small moments ring out and resonate just as much as loud ones. On the title track, she investigates the objectification of our bodies—who owns them, and at what price? Small details (“plastic underwear", “nightmare of dismantled pleasure”) illuminate centuries of gendered silencing. As West embraces her multitudes, whether choosing to speak up or listen quietly, she now claims sovereignty for herself. Jackie West Scout Gillett Tough Touch, Scout Gillett's sophomore album, emerges from years of relentless motion—a period the Missouri-born, Brooklyn-bred, and now LA-based artist describes as one of growth, vulnerability, and learning to trust her instincts. Set for release in 2026 via Slouch Records, the album explores the pain that vulnerability brings, the fragility of life, and the challenge of finding oneself within a relationship—all rendered with the gritty, glittery cosmic twang that makes Scout's sound so singular. “An indie spark plug with old soul sensibilities, Scout Gillett crafts soulful, folk-tinged music that draws on both her rural roots and her DIY spirit.” ... “Expanding her palette with grungy new influences, the LA-via-Kansas-City songwriter’s second album is often higher-octane while retaining her debut’s emotional core.” Scout Gillett
