Edinburgh's Hamish Hawk Unveils New Album

Edinburgh's own Hamish Hawk is set to release his new album, A Firmer Hand, on August 16th through So Recordings.

Renowned for his rich voice and even richer imagination, Hawk's latest work promises to be a tapestry of musical pen-portraits and chamber pop songs, weaving together elements of modern urban and island fairy tales.

Drawing inspiration from luminaries such as Leonard Cohen, Jarvis Cocker, Randy Newman, and Stephin Merritt of Magnetic Fields, Hawk infuses his songs with considerable wit and lyrical prowess. His unique style has earned him a dedicated following and critical acclaim.

To mark the release of A Firmer Hand, Hamish Hawk will be performing numerous dates throughout the year, including:

30th August, Assai @ Tunnels, Aberdeen

31st August, Assai @ Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh

1st September, Assai @ St Luke’s, Glasgow

21st December, OVO Hydro, Glasgow (supporting Travis)

Fans of Franz Ferdinand, The Divine Comedy, and Pulp who appreciate melodic sensibilities and witty, literary lyricism will likely enjoy Hamish Hawk’s work. While his style is distinct and draws from a broad range of influences, the comparison underscores his clever songwriting and dynamic musical quality, energetic and thoughtful approaches.

Hawk’s upcoming performances promise to showcase his captivating live presence, further solidifying his place in the contemporary music scene.
