Steven Brown - In This Very World (2026) [Hi-Res]

American composer, vocalist and Tuxedomoon co-founder Steven Brown returns with In This Very World, a striking new solo album that expands his legacy as one of the most singular voices to emerge from the post-punk and new wave movements.

Now based in Oaxaca, Mexico, Steven Brown continues to explore the intersection of texture, minimalism and mood, crafting an intimate universe where organic instrumentation meets ambient soundscapes.

In This Very World moves seamlessly between poetic songs and evocative, minimal instrumental pieces that echo stripped-down jazz and neoclassical forms.

The album also features two remarkable reinterpretations: a contemplative version of a work by Shostakovich and a haunting cover of Bowie’s “Panic in Detroit.”

With this release, Steven Brown reaffirms his stature as a powerful, poetic songwriter and iconic vocalist, offering an album that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in his personal journey: musical, political, and geographical.
