Girlhood (Vinyl)

"For me, Girlhood is the album I wanted and needed to hear when I was younger," Brisbane-based, alt-country singer-songwriter Hayley Marsten says of her eagerly anticipated second album. "Everything from the songs down to the way the album looks was really inspired by who I so badly wanted to be when I was a teenager and I'm really proud of what I made for that younger self."

Hayley's "very autobiographical" Girlhood album most closely represents where she's at right now, both as an artist and a person: sometimes sassy, always heartfelt. And something tells us Baby Hayley would wholeheartedly approve of Girlhood, which is, unquestionably, her adult counterpart's most honest and accomplished set of songs to date.
