Large, the Indie Rock project of Canadian-born songwriter and guitarist Jamie Hilsden, will release its debut album, Marine Life on January 31, 2026. Centered on language-driven songs, Large occupies a space “between classic and contemporary indie.”

Ahead of the album’s release, Large has already shared three singles: “Standards and Practices,” “Circles,” and “Falling in the Woods”. The next single, “Worth Repeating,” will be released on January 7, followed by an additional single on January 20, ahead of the full album release.

Marine Life uses “recurring oceanic imagery as a loose framework for songs about connection, distance, and the subtle rhythms of daily life.” The album was recorded largely live in the studio with a full band, often without the use of a click track. It was mastered by J.J. Golden (Neko Case, Devendra Banhart, Ty Segall, Osees).

Hilsden’s background includes years of touring and recording as the frontman of Man Alive (The Militia Group) and as a guitarist with Useless I.D. (Fat Wreck Chords).
