The devil beckons. We’re pleased to invite you into Ora Cogan ’s realm of Hard Hearted Woman, out March 13th 2026. Her Sacred Bones debut, this album is a spell for anyone with a desire to stay wild in a world that keeps hardening. Mixing haunted folk, psych rock, and a shadowy strain of country, Cogan builds a realm where catharsis feels lush, mysterious and vital. Available on Gold Nugget vinyl as our Sacred Bones Exclusive variant, pre-order your copy today!
Despite its title, Hard Hearted Woman isn’t about shutting down, rather about hardness as resilience. It’s the shell we grow so our most human, breakable selves can survive. It’s a record for anyone trying to stay open, even when the world makes that feel impossible. Hard Hearted Woman is a work of devotion to mystery, to community, to the strange power of making art in a fractured world. “It’s the most important part, the magic,” Cogan says. “What I write about isn’t always confessional, sometimes it is just an attempt at understanding. Working on music right now feels necessary for a healthy nervous system. I hope that it works that way for the people listening.”
