Hard Girls
Floating Now
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.
