“”Huge Cat Tattoos” is simply one of many nice unsaids that make up the brand new document, and it is the birthplace of the album’s title: A Firmer Hand. Unknowingly I might been increase an unpleasant arsenal of nice unsaids over the previous few years, and the album turned a spot I might offload them, and optimistically put them to relaxation,” he says of the only.
“I attempted to keep away from cleansing issues up on the time of writing, I cornered myself right into a warts-and-all strategy. However do not be fooled, Huge Cat Tattoos is all discuss. Our hero will get just a few barbs in good and early, and lands a few clumsy jabs, however in the long run we’re witness to nothing greater than a petty diatribe. It is embittered, unbecoming and wholly embarrassing. It does have a sure get-up-and-go, although.”
Hawk’s new album follows 2021’s debut album, Heavy Elevator, and 2023’s critically-acclaimed, Angel Numbers. “Scripting this album, I opened up my closet, and a skeleton got here out. The factor that hyperlinks the entire songs is a way of the unsaid, whether or not out of guilt, disgrace, repression, embarrassment, coyness, no matter it may need been. I realised: I’m going to say this stuff, and never all of them are going to make me look good. The album made so many calls for, and I simply gave myself over to it,” he explains.
“As soon as I might given myself over to the thought, I believed, I’ve to stay to this. I can’t cover something from it. I can’t clear all of it up for consumption. It felt uncomfortable for me – and that’s precisely the way it ought to really feel. That’s a very sturdy place.”
