Red Vox announces their sixth full-length studio album ‘Retcon’ arriving January 30th, 2026, accompanied by new single “Over a Life” with its music video available now. Vocalist Vin explains the track stands as one of their most recent recordings, played live before it even had a name and finished lyrics, with meaning drawn from experience, observation and reading Norm MacDonald’s autobiography. The album originally contained 16 songs before the band cut five and recorded two more to better fit the theme and overall vibe, creating an ironic situation where an album about not being able to change the past went through several retcons itself. Vin describes a fairly dystopian thread running throughout while the music ranges from grungy sounds on the opening track he wrote 20 years ago through electronic vibes, acoustic and mandolin infused moments, aggressive loud rock and hints of psychedelic rock across 13 total tracks.
The New York based indie rock band enters 2026 with serious momentum behind them following their music video for “Garbage Land” landing at number 54 on Rate Your Music’s Best Music Videos of 2024 and the second half of their fifth album ‘Visions and Afterthoughts’ becoming a Bandcamp bestseller in 2023. Red Vox has earned millions of streams led by breakout single “In the Garden” and nearly 8,000 physical album sales, while their live presence continues expanding from 600 people at Too Many Games 2024 to nearly 1,500 fans filling Super MAGfest 2025 and packed shows at White Eagle Hall for career spanning sets. The band invites fans into The New Flesh, an ambient first-person exploration experience functioning as a playable music video spanning three songs from ‘Retcon’ where players explore strange worlds, meet inhabitants, collect Red Vox records and discover 15 plus additional songs from across their history plus one exclusive track, earning the game a nomination for Best Game Soundtrack at an upcoming awards show.
