SHANNON AND THE CLAMS DREAMS... OUT NOW!

SHANNON AND THE CLAMS are rumored to be from NOW in Oakland California and comprised of Shannon Shaw (vocals, bass), Cody Blanchard (vocals, guitar), and Ian Amberson (drums, vocals). Dreams in the Rat House is their first LP for Hardly Art. From pop ballads to doo woppers, bomp stompers and punk rippers, country clippers and some psych-o trippers, it's all R'n'R and it's all right there in the Clams' hooded velvet trick bag. LPs on limited opaque pale yellow wax! All LPs include a download code with the full album plus bonus tracks.

WE ARE LOUD WHISPERS DEBUT LP - OUT NOW!

We Are Loud Whispers is a dreamy duo featuring Sonya Westcott (Arthur & Yu) and Ayumu Haitani (4 Bonjour's Parties). Suchness, their debut LP, displays intricate electronic orchestration, loops, and effects, while relaying an organic ease. Assembled over emails sent between Seattle and Japan, Suchness transcended geographical and language barriers - and traditional ideas of what a "band" is - in its making. All LPs include a download code!

COLLEEN GREEN'S SOCK IT TO ME OUT NOW!

Colleen Green's first full-length for Hardly Art, Sock it to Me, is grounded in pure pop. Green's multi-tracked, emotive vocals take an enormous leap forward, with every drum-machine-tracked song awash in the dreamy slacker romanticism of California. Sock it to yourself and grab the first pressing on opaque blue vinyl while supplies last. All LPs include a download code!

GRAVE BABIES CRUSHER NOW AVAILABLE

Grave Babies are a band whose sound might suggest the need for drugs that stabilize mood, while also creating a desire for ones that enhance them. The center of Grave Babies’ sound is the sonic equivalent of thwarted desire - and on Crusher, their first LP for Hardly Art, Grave Babies take the harder approach: doing what they’ve always done, but doing it better. Limited first pressing available on on translucent red vinyl.

FIRST FOR 2013: LOST ANIMAL'S EX TROPICAL

Lost Animal’s music comes at you in layers: familiar, then mysterious; catchy, then saturated and atmospheric. Lost Animal finds Jarrod Quarrell (pictured on the cover there) using his keyboard to explore new sounds and evoke distant locations. Ex Tropical is the debut LP from Lost Animal. All LPs include a download code.

NOW AVAILABLE: A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT, DEBUT LP FROM BLACK MARBLE

Bedroom producers Chris Stewart and Ty Kube have followed up this year's earlier Weight Against the Door EP with A Different Arrangement, coming October 9th on CD/LP/digital. A departure from Weight’s calculated coldwave formalism, A Different Arrangement surveys a wide variety of sounds, from radiant, bouncing ebullience to layers of sentimental synth melodies and Stewart’s resonant, reverb-smeared baritone. Now available on CD/digital! Vinyl coming to you on Oct. 30.

LAND GRAB FROM UNNATURAL HELPERS

Unnatural Helpers churn out hit songs like allergic sneezes, but they also are culled from the ditches of modern society, stolen from the ranks of working class yahoos. Pain, Doubt, Fear, Hate, Anger, Guilt, Regret, ad nauseum: it's all here. Recorded in Seattle with Kurt Bloch and Eric Randall. First pressing on white vinyl. Out now!
