Lies (Something You Can Do) / Coreopsis Trail
Following their 2024 self-titled debut, The Hard Quartet – 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 one’s 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.
