Brooklyn, NY based five-piece Ok Cowgirl have announced their new album, Rhinestone Cowgirl, due out August 21st, 2026, via Easy Does It Records, produced by Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Indigo De Souza, Wednesday).

The announcement arrives alongside the lead single “Prepared To Lose,” which is accompanied by an Evan Murray-directed video.

Vocalist Leah Lavigne explains:

This is is a song I wrote about dealing with hardship. It’s a reminder that everyone has bad luck here and there. ‘I’m prepared to lose’ seems more pessimistic than my typical tone—and it almost felt uncomfortable to sing at first—but it just didn’t feel right to change it. After some time I grew to find it empowering. It’s about facing and accepting the unpredictable nature of the world, and how that acceptance makes room for a deeper sense of gratitude for the people we love and our small daily victories. So much of life is outside your control, sometimes all you can do is grit your teeth and ‘get through to another day.’

The band also has some upcoming live shows in New York: July 7th at Union Pool, and their record release show, August 22nd at Baby’s All Right.

“Prepared To Lose” follows the release of their debut LP Couldn’t Save Us From My Gut, also produced by Farrar.
