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.”
The band, with some editing help from D, also put together lyric video for “Midtown”
