Our Take

After giving Hamish Hawk's latest album, A Firmer Hand, a whirl, we can confidently say that this Scottish troubadour is not messing about. With his distinctive blend of indie rock, folk, and pop sensibilities, Hawk has crafted a collection of tunes that are as catchy as they are thought-provoking. The album kicks off with the infectiously upbeat track "Caterpillar", setting the tone for what's to come. Hawk's clever lyrics and whimsical storytelling take center stage, drawing listeners in with his charismatic charm. Tracks like "The Mauritian Badminton Doubles Champion, 1973" showcase Hawk's knack for weaving together intricate narratives with lush instrumentation, making for a truly immersive listening experience. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on A Firmer Hand. Hawk dives into darker subject matter on tracks like "Fear the North", exploring themes of mortality and existential dread with a raw honesty that is both captivating and unsettling. Hawk's voice, with its rich timbre and emotive delivery, carries the weight of these heavier topics with ease, drawing listeners in even further. Overall, A Firmer Hand is a testament to Hawk's talent as a songwriter and performer. With its infectious melodies, evocative storytelling, and just a hint of cheeky humor, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who gives it a spin. So grab yourself a cuppa, settle in, and let Hamish Hawk take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
