Brakence Returns With New Album Marrow

Brakence is back in action. Today, the Ohio singer-songwriter returned with the announcement of Marrow, his first new album since 2022’s chronic pain-inspired Hypochondriac. Check out the album art and first single “Ready or Not” below. Marrow drops October 23 via Columbia.

Since sharing Hypochondriac, Brakence has appeared sporadically on other artists’ songs. He collaborated with Quadeca on the 2023 track “A la Carte”; featured on two songs from Colliding With Mars’ 2024 album Time to Meet God; and contributed to the Aries song “Sleepwalker.”
