A Hawk And A Hacksaw
A Hawk And A Hacksaw is a European folk group fronted by Jeremy Barnes, perhaps best known for his work drumming for indie demigod Neutral Milk Hotel. Barnes had a hand in Beirut’s initial success: According to Condon, he met Barnes after playing a show with A Hawk And A Hacksaw. Barnes passed on Condon’s demos to the label that went on to release Beirut’s first two records, helped Condon flesh out the home recordings that became debut album Gulag Orkestar, and performed as an early touring member of the band. It’s easy to see why Barnes took a shine to Beirut’s steez; A Hawk And A Hacksaw is similarly influenced by world music. The band’s globetrotting sound is predominantly instrumental, which makes its records both more authentic and, sometimes, less accessible. 09/26/11 >> go there
