After disbanding in 1993 following the release of Delaware and National Coma, Drop Nineteens reunited nearly 30 years later for Hard Light, their long-awaited third album. Sparked by frontman Greg Ackell’s unexpected return to songwriting in 2021, the band—featuring original members Steve Zimmerman, Paula Kelley, Motohiro Yasue, and Peter Koeplin—came back together to craft a record that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Recorded across multiple studios, Hard Light recaptures their signature shoegaze sound with expansive guitars, dreamy vocals, and a modern edge, marking a stunning evolution from their '90s roots.
