Now That's What I Call Heartbreak is back for 2026. This year the DIY compilation features 39 tracks including Little Low, MK Naomi, Box Elder, Unseemlier, and many more.

“Every year I wonder if this benefit comp has run its course, and yet every December I’ll inevitably get DMs and texts from folks checking in to make sure it’s still on for another year. I’m extremely grateful to my dear friend and [MK Naomi bandmate; also of Daphne Blue Underworld] Lauren Garant who always mixes and tracks multiple songs, masters everything for volume, gets the art over the finish line. My partner Tom [Ciesluk; also of MK Naomi as well as Little Low, Massive Nightmares] supports so much of the process from end to end. I couldn’t dream of doing it without their contributions. Everyone does this for the love of the game," co-organizer Andrea Neuenfeldt (MK Naomi, Unseemlier) says.
