Feist, Buck Meek, and more feature on new Charlotte Cornfield album, Hurts Like Hell

Hurts Like Hell arrives as Charlotte Cornfield's sixth album and her debut for Merge Records, which sees her join the likes of Teenage Fanclub, Waxahatchee, and The Magnetic Fields. Speaking of the title track, Cornfield says: “This song is about someone getting over deep insecurities and inhibitions and putting themselves out there. These two characters in the song have clearly experienced a lot of pain and are pushing themselves to move past it and connect with one another. It’s a shy people love story. The pedal steel/full band/country-tinged approach felt fitting for this one, and Buck’s backing vocals really sent it.”

Hurts Like Hell album was produced, recorded, and mixed by Phillip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Lonnie Holley, Billie Marten) at Sugar Mountain studio last January. In addition to Meek, guest singers Feist, Christian Lee Hutson, and Maia Friedman join Cornfield on the record. As Cornfield says, “Every musician involved was a dream collaborator."
