Karina Rykman will release her second studio album, Late Checkout, on September 25 through Karina Rykman/High Rotation Records. The 12-track album follows her 2023 debut, Joyride. The latest preview from the album is “Shoegaze Summer,” which follows previously released singles “Easy Rider” and the title track, “Late Checkout.” The new album was recorded with longtime collaborator Gabe Monro at Trey Anastasio’s The Barn in Westford, Vermont, and DFA Studios in New York City.
“Shoegaze Summer” was developed with Rykman’s bandmates Adam November and Chris Corsico during a 72-hour writing session in 2024. “It’s catchy and heavy. It’s dreamy and full of left turns,” Rykman said of the track.
“Shoegaze Summer” will also receive airplay on the Monday, August 31 edition of JamCast, airing from 9 to 11 p.m. on 98.1 KZE.

Rykman will celebrate the arrival of Late Checkout with a hometown record release show at New York City’s Webster Hall on September 25. The performance also launches a U.S. headline tour that continues through December.
