Philadelphia indie-rock band Queen of Jeans have announced hard/SWEET, their next album, for 9 October through Memory Music.
New single 'Sweet Devotion' introduces the record with an introspective performance centred on vulnerability and the emotional walls people construct around themselves.
The ten-track album was produced and engineered by Justin Bartlett, with Will Yip involved in mixing and mastering. Earlier track 'Still Learning' also appears on the record.
Queen of Jeans have consistently balanced polished melodic songwriting with emotionally complicated lyrics, and hard/SWEET appears designed around that contrast directly.
