SOMBR returns with new music. The American artist today releases “Homewrecker”, the first single after “I Barely Know Her”, the debut album released in 2025 and received with great attention by critics.
Written and co-produced by Grammy nominee SOMBR himself, “Homewrecker” is accompanied by an official video starring Quenlin Blackwell and Milo Manheim.
The video, directed by Gus Black (already working with Phoebe Bridgers and Laufey), translates the emotional instability of the song into images. Set on the set of a western film, the story follows SOMBR and Blackwell dealing with an authoritarian director played by Manheim. The narrative proceeds on an increasingly fragile balance, in which the boundaries between acting and reality begin to blur, culminating in a showdown that explicitly recalls the imagery of the classic western.
Check out the video for “Homewrecker” below.
On the live front, SOMBR will be in concert in Italy on Sunday 22 February 2026 at Alcatraz in Milan.
From the privacy of your bedroom to the largest audiences in the States, from a sound custom built for small sizes big music more exuberant, perfect for covering very large spaces. In the space of a few years, thanks to impressive word of mouth (and obviously to the support of Warner), the boy who seemed to be on the road to valid but all in all anonymous folk-rock has completely turned the corner, revealing himself to be one of the phenomena of 2025. Just turned twenty years old, an instrumental versatility that allows him to be able to independently play the entire lineup of a band, Shane Boose, better known with the iconic alias SOMBR, bursts into the English-speaking charts with a savoir faire rock that now seemed to have disappeared completely, replaced by genres and trends that were clearly at odds. A little glam-star 70s, a little frontman beautiful and damned by a Britpop band, it arrives at the first album with a broken heart (we'll come back to it later) but above all with a sonic alchemy that travels freely between decades, letting your fingers slide through the vinyls of the Beach Boys, New York new wave and early 80s funk without batting an eyelid. The songs on “I Barely Know Her” are as powerful as they are at their galvanizing best moments.
