Having been one of the band's early champions back in late 2009 when he produced the 'Gastown' / 'River Song' one-off single for his Third Man label, JACK WHITE has personally invited SMOKE FAIRIES to support him at his London and Paris shows next week. In celebration of Record Store Day , Smoke Fairies will also be playing a more intimate London show in London this Saturday afternoon, performing at Rough Trade West to mark the release of [...]

Sheffield’s finest former '50s-throwback troubadour Richard Hawley introduces his forthcoming album, 'Standing at the Sky’s Edge', with the release of its first single 'Leave Your Body Behind You'. The trademark Hawley sonorous baritone remains, but overall this is something of a departure from his previous languorous style. There's a new psychedelic presentation and a rockier sound; fair play, Hawley has been sticking to the same formula for a few albums now, and he's due a change of direction. As if transported in a bequiffed Tardis, Hawley now finds himself at the cusp of the [...]
Richard Hawley es uno de esos grandes músicos que salen de Sheffield, hogar de Arctic Monkeys con los que por cierto colaboró hace poco en una excepcional pista llamada “You & I” . Con varios álbumes a sus espaldas centrados en el rock, el crooner vuelve con algo diferente que nos ha recordado algunas obras de trip hop. ¿Richard Hawley haciendo trip hop? Bueno, no exactamente, pero algo de él sí que hay en el primer tema que hemos podido escuchar, “Leave Your Body Behind You” , que parece [...]

Stream the new Richard Hawley single Leave Your Body Behind You from his forthcoming album Standing at the Sky's Edge . More britpop than the heartfelt crooning we're used to, but still very good...of course it is! Have to agree with this (no longer recall where I read it): " we really don't need another album from him doing exactly the same ". So interesting if this is actually a major career move or just the odd song out [...]

Back from a lunch date and the RICHARD HAWLEY is back with a new cosmic-rock tinged new single, LEAVE YOUR BODY BEHIND YOU (FADE) . Both are jolz.

Frank Yang Taking into account how incredibly efficient I was at catching my must-see bands of SXSW on the first day of the festival, I knew that it was a very real possibility that come Saturday night, I'd have nothing left that I wanted to see... and that was almost the case. Thankfully I'd kept a few things in my back pocket and either skipped earlier in the week for just such a scenario or had been putting off for Canadian Musicfest the following week. It's called planning, folks. [...]
Following up his 2009 release, Truelove's Gutter , Sheffield legend Richard Hawley is back with a new single, "Leave Your Body Behind You" from his upcoming seventh solo studio album Standing At The Sky's Edge , which is out on May 7th. The single, which was inspired by the grief felt at the pasing of some of his friends, encourages us to accept how tiny we are in the grand scheme of things and to try to make the most of what we have. Hawley says of the song, "So much damage [...]

Lisa Marie Presley es una artista americana que además de componer canciones y cantar es conocida por ser la única hija de Elvis Presley , por lo que apropiadamente se la llama “La Princesa del Rock & Roll”. Con 2 álbumes de estudio ya en la calle que recibieron bastantes buenas críticas (de hecho el primero es disco de oro en Estados Unidos), Storm & Grace sale al mercado en un par de meses, y cuenta con unas colaboraciones bastante interesantes. Concretamente, las de Richard Hawley, que ya colaboró con [...]
Trying to get the Richard Hawley til Danmark ("to Denmark ") Facebook group back up and running. Seems like every previous member have been kicked out, so I'm back starting from scratch... Mr. Hawley still tops my list of artists I hope to see live someday, and as naive as I may be, I still hope that this group in some way could convince Mr. Hawley to come to Denmark (otherwise I'll probably have to [...]

Richard Hawley has a new album out on the 7th of May, on Parlophone, titled, ‘Standing At The Sky’s Edge’. Recorded at Sheffield’s Yellow Arch Studio in 2011, ‘Standing At The Sky’s Edge’ marks a shift in direction for Hawley. The album channels elements of psychedelia, space rock and rages with heavy riffs and raw, visceral guitar solos – as well as more familiar, tender moments – which may surprise Hawley’s fans. In the tradition of Hawley’s previous albums, the title is inspired by an area of Sheffield. Hawley says of the [...]

Frank Yang It hasn't escaped my notice that my live show schedule so far in 2012 has been pretty lean, and what there has been has been more on the sedate side. Which is fine - I dig the low key stuff and getting home well before midnight - but sometimes you get a fever for something bigger, louder and more rawk... and on those occasions, such as Tuesday night, the perfect prescription is The Kills . The Amer-English duo were on the road for a second North American jaunt in support of last [...]

Arctic Monkeys and Pulp's Richard Hawley have collaborated on a turbo-charged rock track titled, "You and I." Revved up on guitar riffs and open-road motifs such as, "the engine's running, can't decide if I should ride away," it has all the makings of a classic greased up rock track (ample guitar solos included). Though one would expect nothing less from two iconic British acts. Arctic Monkeys - You & I (Feat. Richard Hawley) by weallwantsome1
