Low Flying Hawks - Genkaku - VINYL LP

With their third full-length InchFuyuInch, which means InchwinterInch in Japanese, LOW FLYING HAWKS are completing their long-planned trilogy based on the ancient Greek myth of Sisyphos, King of Corinth, who was cruelly punished by the Olympian gods to eternally push a massive bolder up on a hill â€Inch only to see it slip and roll down again every time he neared the top. LOW FLYING HAWKS offer a refined musical vision of their trademark melange, which might be tentatively called 'doomgaze' with a measure of stoner rock, a knife-tip of sludge, and a healthy pinch of drone. Following the album title's seasonal theme, listeners will encounter a new darker undertone in the band's sound that often appears to be extremely heavy and hovering nearly weightless at the same time. LOW FLYING HAWKS were founded by the pair of guitarists/multi-instrumentalists known by their aliases EHA and AAL. Throughout the band's existence, this core duo has been supported by a renowned rhythm section in the form of THE MELVINS drummer Dale Crover and Trevor Dunn from MR. BUNGLE on bass. On the third cornerstone of their trilogy, InchFuyuInch, LOW FLYING HAWKS relate the despair of nearly reaching the top once again and realising that the circle continues as exemplified by Sisyphos. InchFuyuInch witnesses LOW FLYING HAWKS concluding their album trilogy on a sometimes dark but always thoughtful note, which makes the most of their subtle and cinematic style between doom, drone, shoegaze, sludge, and stoner rock.

Vinyl LP pressing. When TV Eye, the Second City's Stooges-inspired garage punk band split, Daves Twist (drums) and Kusworth (guitar) and Paul Adams (guitar) approached Duffy (vocals) and Simon Colley (bass) from the first Duran Duran line-up to join their new project. So began Obviously Five Believers, who in turn became The Subterranean Hawks, before settling on The Hawks. Adored by most who saw them, they recorded constantly, spawning one highly collectable single, 'Words Of Hope'. They lasted from '79 until Christmas '81 'falling apart in a myriad of acrimony,' as Duffy wrote in 1984. Years passed with the various members each finding degrees of success Duffy solo, and with the Lilac Time; Kusworth with Nikki Sudden and numerous other bands, often alongside current Black Bomber Twist. In 2019, when Duffy and Kusworth last met, Duffy, as custodian of The Hawks tape archive', promised that the recordings would one day be released. Sadly this was not soon enough for Kusworth who tragically passed away last year. Duffy has remained as good as his word, however, in bringing these ten songs to , in honour of his friend. Having languished on cassette for 40 years, they're now set free, sounding the best they've done since the day they were recorded, thanks to the judicious mastering of Grammy-winning engineer John Paterno. 'Twas ever thus. They were the perfect group. They had everything save for a parcel of good luck. If there were any justice the Hawks would be one of the most revered groups on planet earth. But this world is corrupt and the accolades and laurels they deserved never fell their way. They were such a great band. Possibly the best unknown band the world has ever seen.
