Hayday is a 2021 studio album by American indie rock band Feeble Little Horse, their first full-length album and their first with vocalist Lydia Slocum.[2] The album was recorded as Slocum joined[1] and received positive attention from critics, especially for the track "Chores",[3] leading to the group signing with Saddle Creek Records, which would re-release Hayday in 2022.[4]

Abby Jones of Pitchfork rated Hayday 7.4 out of 10, calling it "a relentless, intentionally chaotic document of twentysomething existential dread", praising vocalist Lydia Slocum's lyrics in particular.[5] Writing for Stereogum, Eli Enis considers this release "an enormous leap forward" in the band's sound from their debut EP Modern Tourism.[2] In a feature on the band for Paste Devon Chodzin wrote that this album has "screeching earworms made the band unforgettable".[3] "Chores" was highlighted by The New York Times, where critic Lindsay Zoladz writing that the band knows "exactly how much noise belongs in their noise-pop" and calls Slocum's vocals charismatic.[6] Marissa Lorusso of NPR stated that this song "radiates a deliciously over-it energy" with lyrics about a break-up that Slocum went through.[7]
