The Hard Quartet – The Hard Quartet (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Steve Gunn, Emmett Kelly, Tim Wyskida, and Matt Valentine don't exactly travel in quiet circles. Each brings a restless, deeply individual catalog to this collaboration, rooted in the kind of American music that values texture and patience over flash. The result lands somewhere between the frayed warmth of country-damaged rock and the open-ended drift of the underground, four distinct musical personalities finding an unexpected common frequency.
The Hard Quartet is a band. But what is a band? A band, perhaps, can be thought of as a body, a corpus, in which physically discrete lifeforms comprise a chimera that shrieks with one voice. In this particular band, which is one of millions in the world today, four players selflessly merge, become musical, and emit rock 'n' roll that is familiar but new, warm but icy, melodic but Sphinx-like in it's seductive and subtle riddles... essentially, The Hard Quartet has leveled, cultivated, and made lush an entirely new steppe in the ecosystem of guitar-bass-drums-voice agriculture.
