“HAWK combine post-punk and folk in a spine-tingling brew that’ll take potshots at your emotional wellbeing”The Line of Best Fit

 

For fans of: Björk, Daughter, Dum Dum Girls
HAWK bid farewell to 2014 with free single Hush, one of the most emotional and passionate tracks of the year, released 8th December 2014.

The single’s haunting video premiered on The Line Of Best Fit and you can now enjoy it on HAWK’s YouTube channel.

HAWK are Julie Hawk (vocals & guitar), Matthew Harris (guitar), Chris Handsley (bass) and Sam Campbell (drums). The single is a precursor to their first new release of 2015 via Veta Records, the stunning EP Clock Hands.

Hush embraces the furthest reaches of light and shade of the band’s uniquely primal sonic tapestry, teasing the pain and pleasure from every resonant chord and truly living the healing power of music through every spine tingling vocal nuance.

They have been described as everything from noir-rock to alternative-folk. Based in London, Julie, Matt, Chris, and Sam hail from various corners of the UK and Ireland. Their sound was described by Subba Cultcha as a “fusion of ambience and power” fronted by a “soaring, crackling vocal”. Irish-born lead singer Julie Hawk initially embarked on a solo folk career, and began collaborating with Matt in 2012. After a year on the acoustic circuit, the pair gained support from the likes of Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson. The fledgling duo then joined Sam and Chris to form the band you hear now, adding a new abrasive edge to their sound while retaining the delicacy of their acoustic roots.

Hush is released 8th December via HAWK’s official website.
