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 Black Lips Good Bad Not Evil (Deluxe Edition) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fire Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 25th November 2022 £26.00 - £28.00 Select options Black Lips Good Bad Not Evil (Deluxe Edition) £26.00 - £28.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fire Records Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th November 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Super Unison Auto Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Deathwish Inc. | 1LP Released 14th October 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Super Unison Auto £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Deathwish Inc.
