The story
**Kelley Stoltz** Pop magico (San Francisco, US)
Kelley Stoltz is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and DIY innovator whose career dates back to the late 1990s, when he began self-recording lush, psych- and garage-rock-tinged pop in his San Francisco home studio. Born in New York in 1971 and raised in Michigan, Stoltz has released a remarkable catalog of albums on labels such as Sub Pop, Third Main Records and Castle Face Records, often playing all the instruments himself and drawing comparisons to the melodic sensibility of 60s pop greats as well as the eccentricity of more obscure 80s power-pop and new wave.
Following the release of his critically acclaimed 18th album, “La Fleur”, in 2024, he returns in 2026 with his 19th studio album, “If You Don’t Know Me, Buy Now”. This new collection extends his long-running exploration of catchy psych-pop, introspective lyrics and rich, textured arrangements that pay homage to his influences while evolving his sound, cementing his status as one of underground rock’s most prolific and singular voices. Guests include Brigid Dawson of Osees, Karina Denike of Dance Hall Crashers, Pete Straus of the Dwarves and Allyson Baker of Dirty Ghosts, who provide backing vocals on several tracks.
A long-time favorite of MOJO, BrooklynVegan and John Dwyer, Stoltz has also served as a rhythm guitarist for Echo & the Bunnymen and is currently Robyn Hitchcock’s West Coast drummer. He also now hosts a weekly show dedicated to the San Francisco Bay Area music scene on the legendary radio station KEXP, entitled “Vinelands”.
A extensive UK and European tour is scheduled from October to November 2026, including a live session for Marc Riley on his BBC 6 Music show. US West Coast dates will be announced at a later stage.
“If You Don’t Know Me, Buy Now” will be released in May 2026 on LP and CD via Agitated Records in the UK and Europe, and via Dandy Boy Records in the USA.
