Emmett Kelly, Stephen Malkmus, Matt Sweeney, and
Jim White, will launch the release on 4th October via Matador Records. They have also shared a new single and video,
'Rio's Song'.Directed by Jared Sherbert, the video for 'Rio's Song' was shot earlier this summer in New York City.
The band explain: “The “Rio’s Song” video is
The Hard Quartet’s homage to street rock in the hot afternoon & clowning around with lifer friends in downtown New York City. Director Jared Sherbert shot it guerrilla-style on St Mark’s Place and in The International Bar on July 15 2024. It features local NYC artists, musicians, activists, skaters and icons who are dear to the band.”
