Hana Stretton Unveils New Album "tiarn" with Tracks "Stove" and "Salt"

12:10 PM EDT on June 18, 2026

All the caffeine-generated anxiety has left my body after hearing the new music from Australian ambient-folk musician Hana Stretton. Today, she announced her new album tiarn , the follow-up to 2023's Soon , with the release of two tracks, "Stove" and "Salt."

tiarn , out Aug. 7, came together throughout four years of Stretton living in isolation near the ocean. She'd go on brief swims during the blue hour, the soft twilight before sunrise or sunset. You can hear that stillness, that fresh-aired calm, in these new songs. They are a delight.

Stretton was also influenced by home camera footage she happened across that documented her family living in Japan in the '90s before she was born. She recorded to that footage, on an untouched synth her parents had bought in Tokyo in 1991, allowing it to guide her music composition. It seems that some of those visuals were used in the video for one of the new singles "Stove." I highly recommend you check out both tracks below.

TRACKLIST: 01 "Nojiri 1993” 02 "Salt” 03 "Seagull Theory II” 04 "Stay Involved” 05 "As It Was Before This” 06 "Forest To The Sea” 07 "Stove” 08 "Right Whale” 09 "Off Stokes” 10 "Night Swimming” 11 "From”
