“Hambone” Marks Pokey LaFarge’s Latest Preview of Upcoming Album Rent Money

​release date album: september 11, 2026
​

American singer‑songwriter Pokey LaFarge has unveiled his brand‑new single “Hambone”, the latest preview of his forthcoming album Rent Money, arriving september 11, 2026 via Boxer Boy Records with distribution by PIAS. The track lands alongside an official music video directed by longtime visual collaborator Jacob Butler.

Driven by a traditional hambone rhythm, the single channels LaFarge’s unmistakable fusion of vintage American roots music and infectious dance‑floor energy. The song began with a simple recording from producer Elliot Bergman, who tapped out the hambone pattern on his thigh; that original performance remains embedded in the final mix, giving “Hambone” its distinctive pulse. LaFarge describes the track as “a party track,” a reminder that much of his music is ultimately built to make people move.

“Hambone” follows the previously released singles “Rent Money” and “The Thing”, offering another glimpse into the sonic direction of the upcoming album. Across its eleven tracks, Rent Money blends blues, country, gospel, early rock ’n’ roll, and soul into LaFarge’s signature sound, exploring personal stories as well as the everyday struggles of modern American life.
