Hard Hearted Woman is Ora Cogan’s debut on Sacred Bones, blending haunted folk, psych rock, and shadowy country into an intimate, cathartic sound. Written in Nanaimo, B.C., and recorded with collaborators from country and experimental scenes, the album reflects resilience and tenderness amid a hardening world. Inspired by nature, community, and late-night reflections, it explores themes of survival, mystery, and connection. Tracks like “Honey,” “The Smoke,” and “Division” address social issues and emotional depth, creating a shimmering, jewel-toned work devoted to staying open and human in fractured times.
