Named in reference and in reverence of their hometown – the coastal, blue-collar town of Deale, MD (Population: 5,333) – Brothers Osborne’s fifth studio album Watertown is anchored in the sound and spirit of their beginnings, finding the siblings at their most introspective and vulnerable. Across the album’s 11 tracks, the duo opens up, steeping the record in their own personal explorations of family in all of its forms, love and loss, life’s many stages and changes, and more. 

Watertown introduces an innovative new approach to releasing a record. Leading into the full release of the album, Brothers will drop early alternate versions from Watertown as “SELLOUT EDITS” – cut down versions that cater to the modern listener. Fans who want to hear the full-length version of any pre-release track can find them for free via their website, inviting listeners old and new to dive deeper. From live show fanatics to vinyl heads to social media connoisseurs, Watertown has been built for anyone who wants to visit. 

“Our SELLOUT EDITS are a result of understanding where we are in 2026. It’s our way of meeting the people where they are,” John Osborne explains. “Our hope is that these edits will drive people to the deeper story. If they want to meet us where we are, at our live shows, they will likely get even more than what’s available to them on the internet. Different strokes for different folks, and we welcome them all. It’s still us and our songs at the end of the day.”

“Songs aren’t static – they’re recorded one way, released another, played live yet another. All versions are valid, just like all interpretations are valid,” TJ adds. “We hope that meeting listeners where they are with these different formats opens up new avenues for our music to connect.”

Released 10/23/26 through MCA, Brothers Osborne’s Watertown is available here on ‘Sandbar’ colored vinyl LP, available exclusively at indie record shops, and on CD.

*Preorders for store pickup will be held for three months after release date. Please pick up your Watertown preorder no later than January 27th.
