Sandpoint folk duo Little Wolf dropped some news right around the end of 2025, announcing the Dec. 30 release of their new EP, Longshot.

The three-track album features “Odell,” “Lung” and “74th Ave East,” written, performed and recorded by longtime local singer-songwriters Josh Hedlund and Justin Landis. Hedlund did the writing, while Landis handled the recording at Johnny Long Station in Sandpoint.

Hedlund takes lead on vocals with backing vocals and instrumental support from Landis throughout, specifically on “Odell” — an introspective ballad with a somber sway — and “Lung,” which takes a more wistful, relatively more uptempo approach with touches of dreamy instrumentation.

“74th Ave East” — with vocal support from Pete Hicks and Santiago Gill — has a decidedly anthemic feel, though it begins with a slight lullaby feel before building to a chorus that couldn’t be catchier.

As with all Little Wolf’s work, every track is animated by lyrics that transcend “words to a song” to meet and exceed the definition of “poetry” — particularly on “74th Ave East,” which is most obviously rooted in a lifetime of North Idaho living. And that’s to say nothing of the impeccable instrumental and sound recording chops on display.

Longshot is available for streaming and purchase on Bandcamp, and we have it on good authority that an album release show is forthcoming, with details TBD. Meanwhile, follow the band on Instagram.
