LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl.

Across 10 tracks, including previous releases Hello, My Best Friend, The Greatest and Hardcore Workout Queen Friedbergs debut album Hardcore Workout Queen is, in frontwoman Anna Friedbergs own words: “like an endless road trip, with no destination.” The alt-rock quartets first record is filled with songs made for long drives with close pals, the sort of journeys where deep conversations become second nature and your innermost feelings are discussed over service station snacks and slightly-too-warm fizzy drinks. The kind of road trip you never want to end. On the record the band broaden their sonic palettes: psychedelia, dance-punk and beyond all joining the fray, often coupled with huge pop-leaning hooks.

Hardcore Workout Queen was written in various studios, from Berlin to LA (with long time collaborations and co-producers Daniel Brandt and Mathias Biermann), via Dan Carey‘s (Hot Chip, Fontaines D.C.) studio in South London, and Oli Baystons (the mastermind behind Boxed In) in Walthamstow. The results? An electric debut album that is undeniably Friedberg.
