For her debut solo album “Lionheart”(out January 26th), H.C. McENTIRE found a creative catalyst in Kathleen Hanna. What began as an invitation from McEntire to have Hanna’s band The Julie Ruin perform at Girls Rock North Carolina’s 10th anniversary soon turned into a friendship and, ultimately, an artistic mentorship. “Quartz in the Valley”was the first song the two worked on together.
Revisit the lyric video for “A Lamb, A Dove” and you can pre-order “Lionheart” in the Merge Records store on CD, LP, and limited-edition white Peak Vinyl. In addition, we are offering the album bundled with a special screenprinted handkerchief created by McEntire, who will donate all profits from its sales to “Southerners On New Ground”.
This was a pleasant surprise of an album. Really enjoying it lately.
