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. This new pressing of the album is 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 InchAround 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.InchInch her songs have an aggressively dreamy sound, one that toes the line of sincerity. As seriously as she addresses adulthood, one can't help but wonder if she isn't winking a little bit too.Inch- LA TimesInchIf this perfect pop-punk sugar rush had been released in 1995, it would have been on MTV nonstop.Inch- Rolling Stone Inch armed with a lo-fi approach to songwriting reminiscent of Waxahatchee and early Liz Phair, Green digs into what it means to be an adult (or not).Inch- BUST

Maja and Daniel InchWe are overjoyed to be presenting this new recording InchPas de deuxInch, with many new pieces by composer friends - it's a project that's very close to our hearts. The great Sonata by Ravel is in a way our kaleidoscope, a looking glass that takes us both back and forward in time, and both of those simultaneously. Our journey begins with the slightest of pieces. 'Raindrops' is a charming vignette by the 10 year old Sibelius, whose love of nature would a decade or so later of course give us some of the greatest works in the symphonic repertoire. Deeply moved by the death of Pope John Paul II Penderecki in 2005 wrote the Ciaconna in memoriam Giovanni Paulo II Ciaconna, for string orchestra. His transcription of the piece is a self-contained, independent artistic statement subtle and virtuosic, filled with emotions of a genuinely Romantic kind. The Interior Castle by Peteris Vasks was a text written by St. Teresa of Ávila, Spanish Carmelite nun and famed mystic, in 1577 as a guide for spiritual development through service and prayer. The work is conceived as a tryptich of pure, deeply felt, reverential music, interrupted my two frenetic, disturbing, dark passages. The love and belief conquers the dark forces. We asked our friend Craig White to arrange a Debussy piano prelude and he created for this disc this beautiful version of the 9th piano prelude of Book 1. Sicilian cellist/composer Giovanni Sollima is one of the most colorful, eclectic, musical personalities of his generation. Heimat Terra the title is based on a beautiful text by the anthropologist Edgar Morin. Marcelo Nisinman is one of the great tango artists of our time, a brilliant bandoneon virtuoso and great friend as well as a uniquely personal, eclectic composer of music that is deeply infused by the world of tango but very aware of classical avant-gardistic writing.
