Cover artwork by Sacramento-based collage artist Jarred Sorci. Hard Girls (whose name is a reverential nod to the Soft Boys, an early influence on the band) spent several years on the road touring with Say Anything, Modern Baseball, AJJ, and Cymbals Eat Guitars among others before returning to the Atomic Garden studio to record Floating Now with engineer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Joyce Manor). Their new record doubles down on the bold, introspective post-punk that has become the band’s calling card, while channeling a weird, insistent melodicism not unlike 90’s giants Lou Barlow and Robert Pollard. Alternating vocal duties, guitarist Mike Huguenor’s lyrics are poetic and furious, while bassist Morgan Herrell favors a Bradbury-like style of folksy storytelling, but both cohesively explore themes of mortality, doubt, and the struggle to confront these fears. While the trio’s hometown of San Jose, CA is poised to be the site of a sprawling new Google campus, it is already the poster child for the alienating class-divide of the new tech economy, embodied by soaring real estate prices and sweeping homelessness. In an interview with the AV Club, Huguenor explained that “‘Guadalupe On The Banks Of The Styx’ is a song about a place that was once beautiful—where anyone could find peace for just the cost of crossing the river—but has, in our lifetime, become a place of lost and wandering souls.” On album closer “Running” Herrell asks in heartbreaking fashion, possibly to an average, struggling San Jose resident, or possibly to the area’s tech overlords, “Every day of your life you try to prove it was worth it all to them. Was it worth it? I don’t know, ask me again.” Artist Hard Girls Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Specialist Subject Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Field ’99 Puddle Of Blood Codeine Dreams Camera Echolocation Halfway To The Hearse Guadalupe On The Banks Of The Styx Neurons On The Fritz Herd Dulcet Tones Dizzy Wizard Running Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Bad Religion Against The Grain Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th May 2023 £22.00 - £25.00 Select options Bad Religion Against The Grain £22.00 - £25.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Judah & The Lion Pep Talks Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Caroline International | 2LP Released 5th July 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Judah & The Lion Pep Talks £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Caroline International SKU: 1822919852 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bright Eyes A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997: A Companion Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Dead Oceans | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 27th May 2022 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Bright Eyes A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997: A Companion £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Dead Oceans SKU: DOC305LP-C1 Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 27th May 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Strange Ranger Daymoon Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Tiny Engines | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 6th October 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Strange Ranger Daymoon £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Tiny Engines SKU: LPTE173 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tad Gods Balls: Deluxe Edition Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 1st November 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tad Gods Balls: Deluxe Edition £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1177 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 1st November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Protomartyr Ultimate Success Today Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Domino | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 17th July 2020 £12.99 - £19.00 £19.00 Select options Protomartyr Ultimate Success Today £12.99 - £19.00 £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Domino Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 17th July 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Boris Dear Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sargent House | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 14th July 2017 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Boris Dear £28.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sargent House SKU: SH181LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt's picks View Product Quick View Cherym Take It Or Leave It Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Alcopop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th February 2024 £19.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Cherym Take It Or Leave It £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Alcopop SKU: ALCOPOP269X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th February 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Grey Hairs Halloween (Live at JT Soar) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Gringo Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th August 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grey Hairs Halloween (Live at JT Soar) £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Gringo Records SKU: WAAT074LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View A Great Big Pile Of Leaves Pono Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Topshelf | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th May 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders A Great Big Pile Of Leaves Pono £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Topshelf SKU: LPTSR240C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
