Everything Glows

Everything Glows is the fifth studio album from Los Angeles indie-pop trio Cannons, released March 27, 2026 on Columbia Records. The album spans 11 tracks and approximately 40 minutes, representing a significant creative and personal turning point for the band.

The record was written and recorded during a difficult period for lead vocalist Michelle Joy, who was recovering from fatigue, an anemia diagnosis, surgery, and a divorce. Rather than retreating from the experience, the band channeled that vulnerability into the album’s central themes: heartbreak and codependence, brokenness and, ultimately, liberation. The band wrote 16 songs during this period before paring them down to the final 11.

Cannons described their mission statement for the record as: "We come from light, that’s the oldest truth there is. The dark just made us forget. Everything Glows is about remembering." The album moves through longing, memory, and late nights, but always circles back to light. Rolling Stone praised it for finding beauty in moments that feel messy or unresolved, while FEMMUSIC Magazine called it "a powerful and entrancing fifth album."

Musically, the album blends the band’s signature synth-pop and electro-pop sound with deeper 80s influences, from Madonna’s bright pop maximalism to the atmospheric textures of analog production. Lead single "Starlight" (released January 30, 2026) set the tone with wistful vocals and shimmering synths, while tracks like "These Nights" lean into disco-influenced rhythms. The album marks what critics described as the band’s most unified and creatively fearless work.
