HARD FEELINGS, duo of Joe Goddard and Amy Douglas, share video for new single "Sister Infinity"

Praise for HARD FEELINGS:
"Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, because Hard Feelings’ new song is nearly too hot to handle” Billboard
"Douglas has a huge, sensual howl of a voice, and the track works as a lascivious disco-house anthem. It’s a big, satisfying, hard-rolling track." Stereogum
"a defiant, sweeping house/disco banger" Brooklyn Vegan
"fantastic, heavy-on-the-theatrics disco." Nylon

Today, the magical pairing of NYC-based powerhouse singer/songwriter Amy Douglas and UK-based Joe Goddard of Hot Chip, aka HARD FEELINGS, have released a new peek at their self-titled debut album coming November 5. No holds barred, high energy banger “Sister Infinity” arrives with a dystopian fantasia video conceived by Douglas alongside director Tim Wagner, featuring the acting talents of Goddard. According to Douglas, Tim Wagner’s video “matches the songs itself, a discotastic pulse racing, HI NRG rollercoaster and HARD FEELINGS at our most futurist and perhaps insidious version of the ‘mad scientist and his creation scenario.’”

HARD FEELINGS will debut their album with their first-ever live show supporting Hot Chip at EartH in London on November 7th.  Those lucky enough to have seen Douglas on the mic with the likes of Horse Meat Disco know to expect show stopping vocals and a fierce attitude. 

For all intents and purposes, HARD FEELINGS is "an opera of sad bangers." Loosely conceptual without being a full concept album, the material is the ultimate immersive cinematic experience for your feet and ears, seated fluidly at the intersections of new wave and synthpop inspired pop music and full-on dance majesty. Song by song, it focuses on the unravelling of relationships and their nuanced mystery, replete with ecstatic highs, painful mournful lows, and pure drama throughout. Here is a full LP that will make you dance, make you cry, and make you feel.

New York City’s Amy Douglas has made her reputation across the worlds of house and disco with her distinctive voice and stellar songwriting ability; she has become the “go to” for providing powerhouse vocals and killer hooks. Following features with everyone from Juan MacLean to Treasure Fingers, Amy has since worked with such artists as Luke SolomonThe Crooked Man, and Horse Meat Disco. Recently writing “Something More” for Roisin Murphy from her 2020 album Roisin Machine, Amy has a wide range of notable champions from the likes of Bill BrewsterAndrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston.

Amy’s HARD FEELINGS counterpart, Joe Goddard, is also synonymous with the electronic music world, widely known in the front ranks of British producers for creating sounds from across his panoramic musical life ranging from house, techno and disco to UK garage, R&B and electro-pop. Joe forms one fifth of the UK electronic-pop powerhouse Hot Chip whilst alongside Raf Rundell he is one half of The 2 Bears.

HARD FEELINGS will be available digitally, on CD and LP, in both black and exclusive red vinyl. A special DomMart edition will be available with a 1970s Giallo inspired poster.
