More About A Hawk and A Hacksaw
|
| Started as a solo project in 2000 by accordionist and drummer Jeremy Barnes (formerly of indie rock legends Neutral Milk Hotel) and named after a line in Cervantes' Don Quixote (hence the new album's name), AHAAH became a duo in 2004 when Barnes met violinist Heather Trost. The pair began an adventure that took them to Budapest, Hungary where they lived for two years and met/toured with some of the country’s finest folk musicians, as well as countless US & European tours both on their own and with big names including Portishead, Calexico and fellow New Mexico resident Beirut (whose Gulag Orkestar album they were key collaborators on). Joined by an ever expanding and contracting line-up of musicians, A Hawk and A Hacksaw seeks to create and document an ecstatic sound much like the village bands of old, with the communal aspect of folk tradition and musicianship the key factor.
