Last fall, rough-around-the-edges Chicago garage rockers Mannequin Men debuted two new tracks from an then-upcoming Hozac Records single. One of those songs, "Hobby Girl," has re-emerged as the first single from their upcoming self-titled third record, which sees release in November on Addenda Records. Download it here.

In comparison to the 7-inch version posted on the band's Soundcloud page, this version of "Hobby Girl" is a slower in tempo, which lets the more contemplative, alt-country/cowpunk vibe of the tune sink in more. Find out whether you should get a Hobby Girl by downloading the track below. Mannequin Men is out November 8th.
