T. Hardy Morris has announced the upcoming release of his new album Hardy & The Hardknocks: Drownin On A Mountain Top, which is out on the 23rd June via Dangerbird Records.

The Athens, GA based songwriter, who also also lends his talent to other MM faves Diamond Rugs and Dead Confederate, has spent the past year writing and recording the new album, the follow up to his critically acclaimed 2013 solo debut Audition Tapes (one of our albums of the year).

First tastes comes with the single Painted On Attitude, an urgent, souped-up rocker to Audition Tapes more introspective feel, with a strangely complimentary mix of rollicking lo-fi southern rock pedal steel twang, run through a grunge punk buzzsaw with his snarling yet tuneful vocals serving as the sharp end of the blade.

Give it a spin.
