Hardly Art sweetheart and stoner advocate Colleen Green is releasing a record called Sock It To Me on March 19, but—lucky us—it is available to stream on the Hardly Art SoundCloud right now. The record is ten tracks of blissful, crisp and clear hi-fi meets low-fi, all recorded with boyfriends, summer, romance, and flirting in mind, but never disregarding real pain. It's a compact vision and a lovely listen with the added measure of a listenable fuzz factor; Green's voice is sweet without being syrupy and her lyrics can truly cut you up. We recommend the pleading “Every Boy Wants A Normal Girl,” but you can stream the whole thing through Stereogum here.
Colleen Green is performing at SxSW at the highly anticipated Hardly Art showcase on Friday.
