Tarragon – announces new album and releases single ft. My Brightest Diamond

Tarragon has announced his new album Home At Cofa’s for release on May 1^st 2026.
 
The album is the second from Coventry-based singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Callum Pickard and follows his debut album I’ve Just Seen A Scene in 2022. Now returning in 2026 with Tarragon, he delivers a beautifully expansive and immersive record of ethereal indie electronica alongside a host of collaborators from the likes of The 1975, Tame Impala, The War On Drugs, Supertramp, Bon Iver and more.
 
“I like to think of Tarragon as a community rather than it just being about me,” he says.
 
The first taste comes with lead single ‘Kiss Me On The Line (feat. My Brightest Diamond)’ out today. The song captures questions in a romantic relationship and plays as a musical conversation with Callum’s dreamy musings raising the thoughts, while My Brightest Diamond’s Shara Nova reflects these sentiments with her weightless vocals.
 

Callum also plays piano, electronics, drums and percussion on ‘Kiss Me On The Line’ while also arranging the stunning strings. Along with My Brightest Diamond they are also joined on the song by John Waugh of The 1975 (alto, tenor saxophone), The War on Drugs’ Dave Hartley (bass) and Robbie Bennett (electronics), as well as Bobby Hawk (Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Taylor Swift) who plays strings and adds to their arrangement.
 
Regarding the single Callum says, “‘Kiss Me On The Line’ is about the point when you start asking questions and having doubts about if something is right for you. I wanted there to be a female voice on that track to ask those questions with me and Shara’s voice felt like the perfect fit – she’s one of my favourite vocalists.”
 
The many cooks involved in the forthcoming album Home At Cofa’s is reflected in the name of the project, Tarragon, as Callum explains, “It’s a herb that makes a dish into something better. It’s like collaboration.”
