Music News - Hannah In The Wars' self-titled album out today
17 April 2015 - 0 Comments
Otago born, London based artist Hannah Curwood releases her new album under her recent moniker Hannah In The Wars.
Hannah
Curwood’s
previous releases, Sky
Above, Horse Below (2007) and The Blind Love EP (2009) both
received resounding critical acclaim, with tracks such as the murder ballad It's Been Snowing All Winter showcasing Hannah's use of dark lyrics, twisted imagery and ethereal melody,
earning her a place as one of the country's celebrated alternative folk
writers.
Now based in London, Hannah
in the Wars is her new project and the result of
working alongside Roger
O'Donnell of The
Cure and a handpicked group of talented musicians. The
new songs are a collection of lyrically robust emotional narratives. Curwood’s
distinctive and powerful vocals are accompanied by Telecaster, piano, synth,
delicate string arrangements and the brooding pulse of an orchestral
percussion.
O'Donnell has supported the band by providing his country home studio as a
recording base, and lending guidance with vocal performance, arrangements and
his expertise in synth programming.
The resulting 10 songs evoke the likes of P J Harvey, Anna Calvi, Sharon Van
Etten, Laura Marling and Smog - delicacy entangled with intensity.
The album was mixed by Paul
Corkett (The Cure, Nick Cave, Bjork) and is out
today via O'Donnells 99X/10label and available via iTunes and all good vinyl stockists.
Curwood begins her nationwide tour tomorrow night at The Wine Cellarwith Lucklessand Will Wood.
