On their new album, All I Want Is All of It, set for release on May 8, 2026, Whitehorse say: “How much is too much to ask?” Introduced with “See the Light,” the first song out now, on All I Want Is All of It, Whitehorse find their way home, proverbially, sonically, and emotionally. The collection returns to the duo’s early folk rock romanticism, with a perspective only afforded by over two decades of musical and matrimonial partnership.
“Let’s make a record that sounds like this place,” said Melissa, with a photo of a 19th century farmhouse in hand. Made for humans by humans, this was a purposeful choice of simplicity and authenticity over perfection and complication. In their goal to capture the feel of this specific place and its history, Whitehorse came back to their own story, equally rich in myths and ghosts. On All I Want Is All of It, deeply personal, contradictory and difficult emotions bubble to the surface, encapsulated by the album’s first single, based on an internet tragedy in one act, the anglerfish-inspired “See the Light.”

‘Ragged by right,’ All I Want Is All of It shows its bones - farmhouse studio quirks and all - with trucks on gravel, birds and Great Lakes industrialism clanging in the distance. In this setting, Whitehorse found freedom in the process. Instinct versus overthink. One take versus overdubs. Just playing over editing. So much of Whitehorse’s wildly eclectic catalogue invokes masterfully spun fiction and fantasy, but with All I Want Is All of It, it’s time for the real stuff, intrusive thoughts and all, which turns out to be just as juicy.
The album serves as a compelling portrait of lives lived in music, no more evident than in the album’s credits, which feature Big Jimmy Bowskill on bass and Little Jimi (Melissa and Luke’s son), on Wurlitzer and Hammond organ. Drums by John Obercian and Fred Eltringham and keys by Vincent Jones round out the album’s lived-in sound and feel.
The theme of family continues with Whitehorse’s return to headline touring this spring with the All of It Tour, which includes daughter Chloë Doucet. See tour dates below.
