Heavy Elevator Vinyl by Hamish Hawk
Vivian Comma paints the Madonna, visibly on the verge of fainting. Christopher Wren walks amongst us once more, forswearing designing cathedrals for singing them. One half of the 1973 Mauritian Badminton Doubles Ch&ions has a perfect serve. The boy who inhabits Track Three of John Lennon’ s Imagine repeatdials, passiveaggressively, to Tiree. A funeral, swinging to the Gay Gordons. A latterday Paul the Apostle is offended by the sight of Edinburgh Castle – and, infinitesimally worse, can’ t finish a beer.These are the people and places, scenes and scenarios of the songs of Hamish Hawk.Rich of voice and even richer of imagination, the singersongwriter from Edinburgh creates musical penportraits as vivid in lyric as they are in melody. In all the wholly best ways, these are chamber pop songs that have swallowed both a dictionary and a compendium of modern urban and island fairy tales. And, on Heavy Elevator, his first fullyformed album, this prolific artist presents a perfect ten tracks packed with characters, incident, emotion, geographicalartistic references and tunes to hang your coat on.Heavy Elevator, released on September 17th 2021, is the criticallyacclaimed breakthrough album from Edinburgh’ s Hamish Hawk.“The words, compositional strength and compelling voice add up to something like a British Rufus Wainwright… Mojo “That is a great, great record” Marc Riley, BBC 6Music “…an album that recalls the charm of the Smiths in its melodic richness and literary world view.” The TimesScottish Album Of The Year 2021 The Skinny “This is arch, playful indiepop with one eyebrow raised and the other one winking. Hawk’ s captivating croon is at the centre of these songs, lending just the right amount of theatrics to his lyrical wit.” The New Cue “On an immaculate collection of songs that tether themselves to your memory, Hamish Hawk establishes himself as a songwriting heavyweight.” Secret MeetingAn artist in love with words, his wry, brooding constructions put us in mind of Jarvis Cockers solo work, or even aspects of Richard Hawleys catalogue.
