Hardly Released: Bedroom Recordings, Demos, Rarities, Unreleased, and Widely Ignored Material

bunny Do you ever get the impression other people think your record collection is a joke? Like having a sense of humour makes you stupid. Yeh, it's funny but Baby of the Band is smarter and more multi-layered than most. When I hear Hunx, I wanna be a sensitive sissy – yet motivated and bold! And when I hear Shannon's prowling drawl I'm so glad she's on my team – but I also feel kinda threatened. This is both reassuring and menacing in equal measure. And if you don't get it...? Maybe you're the joke.

about

Often referred to as Sub Pop's "sister label," Hardly Art is an offshoot of Sub Pop designed to spotlight emerging talent. While the label's initial focus was local when it started up in 2007, over the past decade it has expanded beyond the Cascade region to welcome artists from all over the United States and abroad to a roster that has grown increasingly varied and eclectic, encompassing the sounds of garage rock, post-punk, surf rock, power pop, electronic, and other debatably useful genre descriptors.

Hardly Released: Bedroom Recordings, Demos, Rarities, Unreleased, and Widely-Ignored Material makes a strong case for Hardly Art’s sonic diversity. Spanning a decade of recordings, the seventeen tracks of Hardly Released culls together a wide-ranging assortment of songs from the label’s history, including a little-heard gem from Hardly Art’s inaugural signing (Arthur & Yu) and a tune from Chastity Belt’s I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone sessions, the label’s most recent release. The full list of contributors includes Colleen Green, The Dutchess & the Duke, Fergus & Geronimo, Gazebos, Grave Babies, Hausu, Hunx & His Punx, IAN SWEET, Jacuzzi Boys, Jenn Champion, La Luz, The Moondoggies, Protomartyr, Seapony, and Shannon and the Clams.
