Following their 2024 self-titled debut, TheHardQuartet Messrs. Emmett Kelly, Stephen Malkmus, Matt Sweeney, and Jim White return with a brand new two-song single. The elegant Kelly-led shredder Lies (Something You Can Do) was recorded in July 2024 in NYC, while the sprawling flip, Coreopsis Trail, is an unreleased track from the S/T album sessions.

Lies (Something You Can Do) is a credo that states that one must NOT only be a complete dick in the quest for modern survival, explains Kelly. I guess Coreopsis Trail is a reflection of this phenomenon, he continues. On morning runs, excessive cellular oxygenation permits a natural euphoria akin to a glandular spasm famously described as a micro death. Similar results can be achieved by the murder of ones ego, mental disorder, and/or the ill-advised usage of drugs.

Pressed on black vinyl, housed in a top-loading 7 jacket. Limited to 500 copies.
