New Mix: Fruit Tree Records – Fresh Juice 2026 Vol. 4

Photo credit: Hana Snow

This latest edition of our multi-genre collection of Fruit Tree’s favourite newly released tracks casts its net far and wide. Kicking off with the infectious pure soul licks of Brother Wallace, this hour-long helter-skelter ride finds brilliant new Americana sitting comfortably alongside ice-cool electronica. There is timeless singer-songwriter wizardry rubbing shoulders with soulful jazz and a touch of soulful folk too whilst there is strong evidence that dreamy psychedelia and gutsy garage rock are full of life and creativity in 2026. Not only that, but Joan As Policeman has radically re-interpreted her 2006 debut album and the fresh retro thrills do not end there for, we close with not one, not two but (count them) three doses of Beatles adjacent or actual Beatles fairy dust! Yes, The Claypool Lennon Delirium followed by the two surviving originals of Starr and McCartney still on their game after all these years should be more than enough to ensure that a splendid time is guaranteed for all! As always, dig in and dig out by checking the full tracklisting with purchase information below:
