Waking Up Is Hard to Do is the second studio album by the American indie rock band Giant Drag, released on March 5, 2013 on Full Psycho Records,[1] the band's own label.[2] It is the band's first full-length release of original material since Hearts and Unicorns (2005) and was released as a digital download on Giant Drag's Bandcamp music store.[3]
Reception
Marie Wood of Drowned In Sound gave the album an 8 out of 10 rating, writing: "The main draw of the album... is that like Daniel Johnston, Eels and Pinkerton-era Weezer, Hardy still strikes the golden balance of juxtaposing fear, despair and rejection with sugary pop melodies and a dry near arid sense of humour that sweetens the blow of the heavy subjects at hand making them highly relatable."[4]
