Ahead of its April 20th release via Get Better Records /SRA, Friends. Lovers. Favorites, the new album from The HIRS Collective, is available for streaming at NPR’s First Listen. The album comes at you in raw-ripping-roaring charges. That unrelenting blitz of continuous, guttural exposure hits the senses in an earth-quaking, real-time immediacy that shakes you to your core. Enlisting the aid of an array of friends/collaborators like Laura Jean Grace, Shirley Manson, Marissa Paternoster, Alice Bag, and Moor Mother just to name a few, the collection of recordings is an empowering celebration of the LGBTQ community.
