Sounds Like
These people are saying:
'Very far out'.. (D.C. Berman)
'Plain ol' new country-and-northern Anglo-Caithnesian song music (Seer Fanzeen)
'A class act.'- (Manchestermusic.co.uk)
'New Hawks are the front lines of creative music'- (Nancy Elizabeth, Off the Record)
'Darkened, but everso cute with it, rustic punk' (Vanity Project Fanzine).
'A clay toad crossing a sponge'. (Modelzone)
'Hebridean folk put through the cosmik mangler' (Throwaway Style)
New Hawks is an arching, tragi-cosmik song-cycle by Dan Haywood (formerly of "promising" alternative-rockers The Puma-Sutras, and creator of feeble period fantasy 'Dapple').
Wrote the thirty-one New Hawks (songs) in a month-long burst awhile back. It was a shocker.
Aided by a host of kind, talented musicians, including Therese Standish, Richard Turner, Jeff Jefferson, Mike Kenney and Billy Myall (rack)- New Hawks are now being brought to a venue near you and, scratching and screeching, into the stoooodio.
First record is Dan Haywood's New Hawks EP, (Timbreland via Forte Distribution) released October 2007.
Second record will be NEW HAWKS - the whole suite on 3CD/4LP , sometime 2009/2010.
Live and in person, the DH New Hawks ensemble is a phosphorescing beast of a band with lightning sheeting down its back. It eats ten open chords at a time and fires 2000 employees per second.
The DHNH act has opened for notables including The Handsome Family, Rachel Unthank and the Winterset, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Baby Dee, Radar Bros., Diane Cluck, Alasdair Roberts and Mary Hampton and shared bills with many great artists too commercially-unsuccessful to mention.
We will upload more vegetable porn for you soon, kind sirs and madams. Brussels sprouts, radishes, french beans. Maybe later in the season a marrow or two.
