Our Take

Greetings, fellow music aficionados! Today, we dive headfirst into the latest offering from the eclectic duo A Hawk and a Hacksaw: "Darkness At Noon."

From the first notes of the album, it's clear that A Hawk and a Hacksaw are taking us on a sonic journey unlike any other. With a title like "Darkness At Noon," you might expect a moody, introspective affair. But fear not, dear listeners, for this record is as vibrant and lively as ever.

Throughout the album, we are treated to a mesmerising blend of Eastern European folk influences, psychedelic rock, and even a sprinkling of jazz. Each track is a whirlwind of sound, transporting us to a world where traditional melodies collide with modern sensibilities.

The standout track "Lacrimi de Dor" is a prime example of this fusion of styles. With its driving rhythms, haunting vocals, and intricate instrumentation, it's a true standout moment on an album filled with surprises.

Overall, "Darkness At Noon" is a triumph for A Hawk and a Hacksaw, showcasing their impeccable musicianship and boundless creativity. So grab your favourite beverage, sit back, and let the music take you on a wild ride. Trust us, you won't regret it.
