Get Disowned is Hop Along's second full-length album. It was released in March 2012 on Hot Green Records in the US and Big Scary Monsters in the UK/Europe. In 2016 it was reissued by Saddle Creek.

Background and recording

Hop Along approached former Algernon Cadwallader guitarist Joe Reinhart to produce the album because vocalist Frances Quinlan preferred to work with a friend rather than a stranger. The band was met with time constraints during recording due to the members being involved with other projects. Consequently, the recording process lasted two years. Because of this, Quinlan described the album as a "collage".[1] [2]

Reception and legacy

Get Disowned was met with acclaim several years after its original release. In 2018, Stereogum cited the album as a "crucial" work of Philadelphia indie rock in the early 2010s, along with Hurry's Everything/Nothing.[3]

Get Disowned was ranked on several decade-end lists. BrooklynVegans Andrew Sacher dubbed it "the kind of album that was just too good to stay underground forever." He singled out its "raw, humble charm" that helped it "remain just as much a gem as it was the day it was quietly released."

"Tibetan Pop Stars", the album's second track, has continued to receive critical acclaim in recent years. In a 2020 list ranking emo's 100 best songs, the staff of Vulture placed the track highly at #10. The site's David Anthony wrote that it "so succinctly summed up everything great about the genre", noting the band's perfectly achieving "a distinct subtlety" evident in other of emo's best bands.[4] In a 2022 article listing emo's "most important" songs for each year from 1985 to then, The Ringer chose "Stars" for the year 2012.[5]
