Johnny Blue Skies (the artist formerly known as Sturgill Simpson) returns in 2026 with Mutiny After Midnight, a record, he says, made with a singular purpose: “There’s a simple goal we as a band set out to achieve: to make a dance record.”

On the opening track, “Make America Fuk Again,” he sings:

“Been learning lessons and getting bubbles busted. Learning how to turn ADHD into hyper-focus. Getting my heart broke by people I trusted. Weaponizing my autism to shit out an opus. Been coming to terms with my obsolescence. Taking ketamine to kill my depression. It beats being fogged out on anti-depressants. Wait, that reminds me, time to book another session…Maybe things have been worse but I can’t remember when. Wanna start a revolution and watch it begin.”

Centered firmly on groove, each song was written in the moment, on-the-spot, produced by Johnny Blue Skies with musical contributions by the Dark Clouds, and recorded at Easy Eye Sound Studios.

Exclusive RED vinyl edition produced by Atlantic Records in 2026.
