NEW SINGLE : MIDTOWN BY HAWKS DO NOT SHARE

It’s been years but Hawks Do Not Share is back! Their new album, A Dream to Hold on To, will be released digitally and on limited vinyl October 1st. But today, we have the first single, “Midtown.”

“Midtown”, like the entire album, demonstrates a new level of songwriting, production, and collaboration within HDNS. Underneath the dream-pop sheen “Midtown” is deceptively complex both lyrically and harmonically with Jason’s guitar taking a more prominent role than ever before.

The digital single features the non-album track, and driving live show favorite, “In Rain” as it’s b-side.

 
 
With a deep emotional resonance harkening to the sounds of The xx, MGMT, Tears For Fears, The The, and Angelo Badalamenti, the deceptively simple hook delves into a dangerous situation and making peace with a poor decision; the song is a soaring, yet minimalist reflection on centering one’s heart when the ground trembles under our feet.

This is a track that will bring out the feelings: a gorgeous meditation on vulnerability and the rabbit holes it creates. The instrumental backing is especially poignant.
