Colleen Green - I Want To Grow Up [LP - Pink]

Release Date: 5/2/2025

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: "Around 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." " 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." - LA Times "If this perfect pop-punk sugar rush had been released in 1995, it would have been on MTV nonstop." - Rolling Stone " 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)." - BUST
