Gregory and The Hawk is a band you may have heard of. Consisting of Meredith Godreau and no hawk or Gregory, she makes indie pop under the aforementioned pseudonym, with her last release being the album Leche . m∞n on the other hand, may be a little new to you. He's a hip-hop producer making abstract sample based hip-hop and he did a nice job of flipping Gregory and The Hawk's folk-rocky "Landscapes" and turns it into a hip-hop song with enough change in pitch that it sounds like there indeed may be a Gregory involved in the process.

Tweet Sometimes Noise Pop Festival lineups aren't necessarily about Noise Pop as an entity. In fact, my very first Noise Pop show was in 2007, and I wasn't even aware that the Noise Pop Festival had been going on for years - I just wanted to see Spinto Band. And I did. And it was fun. Day 3 of Noise Pop 2011 featured Film School, Apex Manor, Gregory and the Hawk, and Melted Toys at Cafe du Nord . Stylistically, you can [...]
Gregory and the Hawk , aka songbird Meredith Godreau, have embarked on a brief solo tour this week in support of her most recent album, last fall's acclaimed "Leche." The NY-based musician will kick off the run of shows in Los Angeles supporting Jenny O. and Harper Simon at the Bootleg Theater on February 21 before heading to San Francisco for Noise Pop 2011 where she will share a bill at Cafe du Nord with Film School and Apex Manor. Godreau will then head to Seattle for a gig with a solo Ted Leo at the University of Washington on [...]

As per tradition (if something can be called a tradition if you've only done it once before...) here's my list of the top songs of 2010. Well, it's something of a misnomer, to be honest, as most of my favourite songs of the year have already featured in my Top 10 Albums post, so this is an opportunity to recognise the impressive efforts of those bands who weren't eligible for inclusion on that list. Some of these are good tracks from otherwise bad albums, others from records that only missed out by the skin of their teeth, and yet more [...]
To the uninitiated pressing play on a Gregory and The Hawk album and hearing the beautiful serenading of Meredith Godreau may come as a surprise. This deliberately cloudy moniker is designed to avoid being pigeonholed in the "female singer/songwriter" bin. It would therefore be lazy reviewing to say 'Leche' sounds like Emiliana Torrini recorded underwater, or that it is as endearing as [...]
Meredith Godreau originally coined the pseudonym Gregory and the Hawk back in 2003 to avoid being pigeonholed as a female singer-songwriter. It's a justifiable concern – women who pen relaxed acoustic material are all too often lumped together in a deceiving act of lazy journalism. However, although her third studio album Leche proves Gregory and the Hawk is worthy of praise, it lacks the unique content we've come to expect from Godreau following 2007's In Your Dreams and 2008's Moenie and Kitchi . Initially it seems the album relies on Godreau's vocal [...]
The story of Gregory & the Hawk is cool, rare, and shows the potential that the internet holds. Imagine that you record a few songs and put them up on Myspace to stream and sell them. No big deal right? Back in the early to mid 20002s that is what everyone and their mother was doing. Except all of those people didn't sell 15,000 albums and have over 100 videos on YouTube of people playing covers of her songs. Oh, and Gregory & the Hawk was completely independent when that happened. [...]

Annie Racz I liked Gregory & The Hawk's last record, 20082s Moenie & Kitchi . Really, I did. The combination of New Yorker Meredith Godreau's sweet, girlish voice and her gentle, mostly-acoustic, semi-orchestral folk-pop is like kryptonite to me and maybe that's why I was able to resist it - it's the sort of record I've bought a dozen times before and while it's not a style that I'm necessarily tired of, it is one that requires some above and beyond to really impress me. Which is why, [...]

New York, NY "Over And Over" Gregory And The Hawk on MySpace Gregory And The Hawk on The Hype Machine
Gregory & The Hawk "Landscapes" (mp3) from "Leche" (Fat Cat Records) Whether you like Gregory AND the Hawk or Gregory & the Hawk, you can rest assured that the new album "Leche" is full of great pixie-pop as you would expect. Consistent as most G&tH releases are, you can't go wrong with any of their/her albums, so I can resist having another track from Meredith Godreau on the blog. Despite the PR on the album trying to dismiss the [...]
We humbly offer you some very strong follow-up releases from indie experimentalists Generationals and Gregory & The Hawk as well as ground-breaking rappers Devin the Dude and Tobacco, then cap it off with a classic tribute to one of the first ladies of country, Loretta Lynn.

Meredith Godreau (aka Gregory And The Hawk ) returns on November 15 with new album Leche - the follow-up to the much acclaimed 2008 debut Moenie and Kitchi . Here's the first look at the brand new video for 'Soulgazing' - perhaps Godreau's most accesible straight up pop song to date. Although a natural successor to Moenie and Kitchi and indeed the EP that preceded it ( Boats & Birds ), the new material has an even bigger scope; both sonically and melodically. Related posts [...]
