Bo Staloch Comes “From, A Different Age”
Today, Bo Staloch releases his stunning new single, “From a Different Age.” Out now on Capitol Records, the beautifully bursting song unfurls across a loud-quiet-loud dynamic, while the 21-year-old Austin-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter explores a profound sense of isolation and vulnerability that only underscores his undeniable old-soul energy.
“From a Different Age” puts Staloch at the helm of an incredible lineup of collaborators including Brad and Phil Cook (Megafaun), guitarist Colin Croom (Twin Peaks), drummer Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver), and violinist Libby Rodenbough (Mipso). With acoustic pluck, plinking piano, and Staloch’s quietly stirring vocal, the song’s intro is stretched taut like a wire. But when the chorus hits, all of that amassed emotion and talent explodes, with Staloch letting loose over a waltzing, full-band release: “Quiet is the thinking man,” he practically shouts as the violin cuts the air. “I fear I’m losing all my friends / We’re from a different age, we don’t act the same.”
The new music arrives the day before Staloch takes the stage at Rolling Stone Stateside, a Fourth of July festival headlined by Noah Kahan in Kingston, New York. He’ll also be playing his beloved hometown Austin City Limits Music Festival in October. The acclaimed live performer recently wrapped up an intimate EU/UK acoustic tour with fellow Texan Abby Powledge. To commemorate the series, the pair released “Falling Slowly (Live From London)” last month, making Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová’s iconic Once duet their own.
As his devoted fans would attest, Staloch has been on a tear recently sharing acoustic, at-home performances of unreleased songs and some choice covers on TikTok — welcome movement after a breakout 2025 that saw him tour with John Vincent III, Houndmouth, and Ashe; open for Zach Bryan at London’s Hyde Park; make his Lollapalooza debut; and launch his first-ever North American headline run, which sold out in major cities.
All of that came on the back of his breakout EP, The Garden, which racked up raves from the likes of Atwood Magazine, who called it “a charged and churning folk-rock fever dream,” and declared that Staloch “cements himself as part of folk rock’s next generation.” Meanwhile, Ones to Watch dubbed the set “a real journey” and EUPHORIA. wrote, “He embodies the spirit of a California dreamer, an elder statesman with a guitar in hand.”
Before last year was out, Staloch followed with a series of singles that subtly expanded his world. “Angelina” was a raw ode to messy love written and produced with Elie Rizk (Claire Rosinkranz). “Born To” delivered indie folk-pop tenderness in collaboration with Jackson Shanks and X Ambassadors’ Sam Nelson Harris; and “Eastside” reunited Staloch with Andrew Wells (Phoebe Bridgers, Halsey) for a soulful meditation on youth.
