UK singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jake Bugg has released new track “Day By Day”, taken from his forthcoming album Alamo, out November 13, 2026, on Thirty Tigers. The new tracks find him “older, wiser and with a new-found perspective.”
Centered around Bugg’s acoustic fingerpicking, “Day By Day” is a “reflective meditation on perseverance, uncertainty, and the struggle to navigate life’s pressures while trying to make sense of the world.” The central message is one of “endurance and acceptance, embracing both the good and the bad, while continuing to move forward.”
Alamo is Bugg’s seventh studio album and his first as an independent artist after spending his career on major labels. On the musical side, the 11-song set finds the artist reconnecting with the Roots, Blues, Rock and Folk-driven influences of his earliest work.
Alamo was produced by a multi-grammy winning duo of producers Jimmy Hogarth (Anohni, Amy Winehouse, Paolo Nutini) and Steve McKewan (Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood, Eminem).
Bugg became an international figure as a teenager with his 2012 self-titled debut, a triple-platinum, No. 1 album in the UK. From 2013-2016 he made a significant impression on American audiences as well with his music, including numerous television appearances and extensive touring, while performing on major stages.

After nearly 15 years of taking spots on UK and European charts, Jake Bugg is primed is focused on re-connecting with US audiences. The new album “represents a willingness to let listeners see the person behind the music.”
