Mud

Mud is the third studio album by Remi Wolf, released October 9, 2026 on Island Records. Sessions began in Nashville and continued during a retreat in Big Bear, then moved to Electric Lady Studios in New York and wrapped in Joshua Tree. Wolf and a close circle of collaborators favored live instrumentation and recording together in one room. Reviewers describe a quieter, more acoustic turn that works through a breakup and her relationship with sobriety.

Mud is built around a breakup and Wolf's relationship with sobriety. She has described the message as trudging through the gunk and coming out the other side cleansed,^[2] and one review notes she was fresh out of a two-and-a-half-year relationship when she made it.^[10] Press materials called it a breakup record and a "return to Saturn" record.^[2]

The eleven-track album opens with "Bottle," runs through "Champagne," "Twiggy," "Burn Me Blue," "Jamie," "Covered In Mud," "Moon So High" (with John Mayer), "I Won't Cry," "Wine Drunk" and "Guess," and closes with "Yellow Rose."^[1] Reviewers describe acoustic guitars, plain drums and rougher textures in place of her earlier maximalism, with the cover photographed in Topanga Canyon using mud Wolf built herself.^[4][10][2]

Coverage of the record places its emotional center in a breakup and in Wolf's renewed sobriety. She has said the shame around addiction shaped the writing, and reports describe songs such as Bottle, Champagne and Wine Drunk as being about coming to terms with being done drinking, though some critics hear Champagne and Wine Drunk as songs about doomed relationships instead.^[1][2] The eleven tracks run Bottle, Champagne, Twiggy, Burn Me Blue, Jamie, Covered In Mud, Moon So High (featuring John Mayer), I Won't Cry, Wine Drunk, Guess and Yellow Rose.^[1]
