Happy July 4th weekend! Celebrate America's 250th with 25.0% off in the Nonesuch Store now through Sunday. That's 25.0% off our everyday low prices on just about everything—vinyl, CD, HD, MP3, hats, t-shirts, and more; pre-orders excluded.
Emmylou Harris stopped by for the Nonesuch Selects video series, in which artists visit the Nonesuch office, pick some of their favorite albums from the music library, and share a few words on their choices. She chose recordings by Bulgarian State Television Female Choir, Laurie Anderson, Nonesuch Explorer Series, Ry Cooder, The Low Anthem, and Kate & Anna McGarrigle.
The Wild Heart, the Nonesuch Records debut from composer Dylan Mattingly, is out now. The album, performed by Contemporaneous with conductor David Bloom and vocal soloist Iarla Ó Lionáird, comprises the five-movement work The Transmutation Notebooks, as well as Sunt Lacrimae Rerum (these are the tears of things). The vinyl edition features the latter piece and two movements from The Transmutation Notebooks: “Ulysses Dances” and “Last Dance.” You can get the album and hear it here.
When musical material reappears across movements, it is always already in flux—already adapting, changing, evolving," Jake Wilder-Smith writes in his album liner note. "Sometimes, you listen in real time as a rhythmic vamp, harmonic progression, or melodic turn responds to a changing musical environment … Other times we recognize a familiar phrase only when it reappears across movements, its features changed.”
Composer John Adams says: “Dylan Mattingly is a true original whose music fills the listener with a sense of overflowing abundance ... He’s a genuine American Maverick in the true sense of the term.”
Cécile McLorin Salvant’s album With Every Breath I Take, her first with orchestra, is out now. You can get it and hear it here. On the album, Salvant and Metropole Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley perform timeless songs—by Coleman, Coward, Ellington, Sondheim, Strayhorn, and Salvant—newly arranged by composer and bandleader Darcy James Argue. “Salvant’s first orchestral album immediately announces itself as a Desert Island Disc,” exclaims Jazzwise. “It’s an album full of nuance and lyricism, and one of the most hauntingly beautiful things you’ll hear this year. Magnificent.”

Rhiannon Giddens has shared “Carolina Rain,” a song from her upcoming album, Hope Is the Thing with Feathers, and an animated video for it by Nespy5euro & Valeria Weerasinghe.
Rhiannon Giddens's new album, Hope Is the Thing with Feathers, will be released September 18 on Nonesuch. You can pre-order the album, hear the song "Carolina Rain," and watch the video here.Â
The 10-song collection was inspired by the beauty of people coming together and drawing strength from each other. It was intentionally recorded live with no frills and few overdubs, just pure and essential music that captures the feeling of community, clarity, as well as the joy and power of creating together. From exploring the lineages that make American music to the community-oriented spirit in which it was conceived and recorded, in many ways the album tells the story of the past 20 years of Giddens’ life. The vinyl edition is made from 100% recycled vinyl and is carbon neutral.
Grammy-winning composer Donnacha Dennehy’s Limina is due August 28. The album features premiere recordings of two pieces: the piano concerto Limina and Violin Concerto, performed by National Symphony Orchestra Ireland, conductor Ryan McAdams, pianist Eliza McCarthy, and violinist Stephen Waarts; it was recorded at the National Concert Hall, Dublin. The first movement from Limina, “Head,” is available today. You can hear it and pre-order the album here.
Punch Brothers have shared “Found in a Frozen Fog," a new track from their upcoming album, The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers, due July 24, and this performance video for it, directed by Josh Goleman.
Congratulations to Laurie Anderson, who has been named the 2026 Kyoto Prize laureate in Arts and Philosophy. The Kyoto Prize is Japan’s highest private award for global achievement. "Laurie Anderson has demonstrated her interdisciplinary creativity beyond the boundaries of music, visual art, and film through her innovative use of technology, combining ingenuity, and wit," says the citation. "She has established a uniquely experimental yet pop-infused form of multimedia performance by integrating her own narrative voice, body, and electronic media." The prize will be awarded in a ceremony on November 10. Read more here.

Trumpeter/composer Ambrose Akinmusire and guitarist/composer Mary Halvorson’s album Slo-Mo Neon Luminate Hoverings, is out now on Nonesuch.Â
The album features four new compositions by each musician plus one collaboration. The duo, long admirers of each other’s musicianship, began playing together periodically back in 2009. They rehearsed the music on Slo-Mo Neon Luminate Hoverings in January 2025, just before performing it at the NYC club The Stone; they recorded the album the next day at Sear Sound.Â
“I think it’s partly a shared aesthetic and an ease of communication. I feel comfortable to try whatever,” Halvorson says. Akinmusire concurs, “I think it’s rare to find an improviser that all goes and nothing has to go at all. It’s rare to feel like you don’t have to do anything and you can do anything. And that’s what I love about playing with Mary.”
Jeff Parker ETA IVtet—Jay Bellerose, Anna Butterss, and Josh Johnson—has made Paste's list of The 50 Best Albums of 2026 So Far with Happy Today. "This is Jeff Parker and the ETA IVtet’s sound exploding outward and upward," writes Paste's Mariam Abdel-Razek. "Parker’s feat is not just one of musicianship ... but of making form and sound malleable." Read more here.
