Delaney Bailey announces new album 'Concave' with "Far Away"

Chicago singer-songwriter Delaney Bailey has announced her new album, Concave, will be due out Jan. 21, 2026, via AWAL.

The upcoming album will feature tracks like “Far Away,” “Wake Up” and “Lion.”

The latest dreamy track, “Far Away” — which arrived on Oct. 22 — sees Bailey “contemplating youthful invincibility over propulsive drums and melodic riffs,” according to a release.

“‘Far Away’ is about getting older and realizing that I know much less than I thought I did,” Bailey explains. “When I was younger, I thought that the experiences I had and the things I went through taught me enough about the world. I had learned enough about myself, I had learned enough about the way I interact with the world and my opinions on certain things. As I grow older, I’ve become much less convinced that I know anything at all.

Next month, Bailey will embark on her first headlining tour across the Midwest, with stops in like Chicago, IL, and Minneapolis, MN. Per a release, she will bring this year’s releases to the stage for the first time with support from Chicago’s This House is Creaking.

“Although this can be scary, I tend to view my lack of knowing in a positive light. It’s nice to remind myself that there is so much left to experience. Meeting myself over and over again has become less painful as life goes on. I can’t tell if that’s because I like myself more the more I learn, or if it’s because I’ve gotten better at handling change. Probably both. That’s the good thing about your 20s, I think; change is the only consistent thing, so you learn to get used to it.”
