Friedberg have announced their debut album ‘Hardcore Workout Queen’, and a London headline show

Friedberg have announced their debut album ‘Hardcore Workout Queen’.

Set for release on 8th November via Clouds Hill, the alt-rock quartet will also play their first London headline show at the 100 Club on 4th November.

The 10-track album – which includes previous releases ‘Hello’, ‘My Best Friend’, and latest single ‘The Greatest’ – is described by frontwoman Anna Friedberg as “like an endless road trip, with no destination.” The record was written in various studios from Berlin to LA, including Dan Carey’s studio in South London and Oli Bayston’s in Walthamstow.

Anna elaborates on the album’s themes: “I suppose you could say it’s a journey through the inner workings of my past few years. It’s vast and minute, it’s everything and nothing. It’s about breaking in and breaking free, about slipping into someone else’s mind for a holiday from your own thoughts. It’s being the Champion of the Slobs, whilst cheering for the Hardcore Workout Queens who run past your bedroom window as you’re tucking into your second breakfast. It’s the perfect album to listen to with the windows down cruising along a coastline, whether you know where you’re going or not.”

Friedberg will finish the summer playing Lost Village Festival in Lincolnshire on 24th August, before their headline London show at the 100 Club on 4th November.

The tracklist for ‘Hardcore Workout Queen’ is as follows:

1. 100 Times
2. The Greatest
3. Venice 142
4. Hardcore Workout Queen
5. So Dope
6. I Sometimes Do (But Mostly Might)
