Hardly Art is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Colleen Green’s acclaimed album, I Want to Grow Up, which was initially released on February 24th, 2015. Available today to order, you can secure a copy of the new pressing of the album on limited-edition clear pink vinyl.
I Want to Grow Up was recorded at Sputnik Sound in Nashville, TN and was Green’s first album professionally recorded in a studio. It features Jake Orrall of JEFF The Brotherhood on guitar and Diarrhea Planet’s Casey Weissbuch on drums. The album received accolades from publications such as Pitchfork, Stereogum, Rolling Stone, LA Times and The New York Times, whose Ben Ratliff wrote: “Around her songs, there is a basic air of competence, toughness, self-reliance — she’s organized her sound, has identified her neuroses and doesn’t need your help.”
To celebrate this milestone release, Colleen will be hosting a Bandcamp Listening Party on Feb 26th at 12:00 PM PST. She has also confirmed a North American run of shows in June and August at which the album will be performed in its entirety as a full band comprised of Green and Rozwell Kid.
