Under My Umbrella

Miss Grit's second album, Under My Umbrella, is scheduled for release on April 24, 2026.

The project arrives from an artist who built a following through a studied, controlled approach to guitar-driven indie rock. Miss Grit — the stage name of Margaret Sohn — released her debut full-length, Follow the Cyborg, in 2023 on Frenchkiss Records, a record that drew attention for its tightly coiled songwriting and Sohn's interest in themes of identity, technology, and selfhood. Under My Umbrella represents her next sustained statement, arriving roughly three years after that debut.

What the title suggests, even without further context, is a shift in register — away from the outward, almost philosophical framing of the cyborg metaphor and toward something more intimate, more sheltering. An umbrella is a small, personal object. It implies weather, exposure, protection, and the decision about who or what gets to stand beneath it. Whether the album pursues that imagery in any literal way remains to be seen, but titles tend to do some quiet work in orienting a listener's expectations, and this one points inward.

Beyond the title and the release date, the public record on Under My Umbrella is thin. No tracklist, no announced producers or collaborators, no lead single information appears in the available data. That absence is itself a kind of fact worth noting: Sohn is not a maximalist self-promoter, and her debut arrived with a certain restraint in the way it was positioned. Whether that pattern holds here, or whether a fuller rollout is simply still ahead as of this writing, the album is presenting itself so far as a largely unannounced quantity.

The audience most likely to seek this out is the one that followed Follow the Cyborg and found in it something that felt distinct from the more polished end of indie rock. Sohn's work has appealed to listeners who are drawn to songwriting that takes its conceptual premises seriously without becoming academic about them — the kind of record that rewards attention without demanding it as the price of entry. Under My Umbrella will likely find that same audience waiting, and whatever shape the album takes when it arrives in April 2026, it enters with the accumulated interest of a debut that left people genuinely curious about what she would do next.
