What we know so far

Noah Kahan began teasing a new album in early December 2025, directing fans to a TikTok account called @thelastofthebugs. The clips are short, cryptic and musical — featuring audio snippets that fans believe are unreleased tracks. Kahan has confirmed the album is finished but hasn’t announced a release date.

Social clues and TikTok teasers

Kahan’s TikTok posts are the clearest trail of hints. The first video shows him in the snow with text reading, “you weren’t supposed to find this…only the last of the bugs ever do,” paired with an unreleased-sounding audio clip. A later clip uses lyrics from “The View Between Villages” with the caption “Call me when the bugs don’t die,” fueling speculation about an early spring release when insects re-emerge.

Kahan also uploaded a December 15 audio clip titled “Porch Light,” which includes lines such as “I ain’t holding breath, I ain’t holding any faith at all.” On January 14 he shared a recording montage Reel on Instagram with the caption “only the last of the bugs can hear this,” and added a pre-save link to his bio.

Songs already played live

Although the studio release date remains unknown, Kahan has road-tested several songs at recent shows. Fans have reported live performances of:

  • “Porch Light”
  • “The Great Divide”
  • “All Them Horses”
  • “Deny, Deny, Deny”
  • “Haircut” (debuted at Out of the Blue Fest)

These appearances give listeners a clear sense of the album’s direction: intimate storytelling with Kahan’s signature folk-leaning instrumentation and lyrical focus on place and passage.

Release window and pre-save

No official release date has been shared. Fan theories point to early spring — possibly around March 20, 2026 — given Kahan’s repeated references to “the last of the bugs” and imagery of coming out of hibernation. Kahan himself told fans live that the album is ready but that he can’t yet disclose timing.
