Free Range – “Hardly”

Free Range, the country/indie-folk project of Chicago singer-songwriter Sofia Jensen, has announced their sophomore studio album, following 2023's Practice. Lost & Found will be out March 28 and features the lead single "Hardly," which is out now with a video.

Demoed in Silsbee, Texas, Lost & Found features an assist from producer Tommy Read and his sister Hannah Read (Lomelda), plus Eric Adams from Acre Memos, who helped Jensen select a 13-song track list out of 50 songs. Jensen later recorded the album with bassist Bailey Minzenberger, drummer Jack Henry, and new member Andy Krull on pedal steel.

"I have a pretty easy time being honest lyrically and in music, and it feels like such an avenue for me to just express,” Jensen says. "But in my daily life, I'm a pretty private person and have a hard time telling people exactly how I feel... Being truly vulnerable with other people is a lot harder than you think."
