@browellm /Mark. I think this guy & his cohorts might be up your street, especially as I’ve seen some comparisons made with Beirut.

Anyhoo sounds good to me, soo I’ve taken a punt on t’ following albums.>>

Jeremy Barnes/A Hawk & a Hacksaw : “A Hawk & a Hacksaw”

Review
A bewitching cacophony of accordion, tape hiss, piano and woodwind…organic looseness recalls the likes of Boards of Canada. – Leeds Guide, 2-17 June 2004

This could quite happily score a silent film involving distraught circus owners…A small and perfectly formed masterpiece. – Plan B Magazine online, 01 June 2004

This is a shifting, inquisitive record with a sunny disposition, full of melody and invention. – Mojo Magazine, July 2004

This is an exquisite and fully formed beast. – Flux Magazine, June 2004

This sounds rather like a mute and frazzled Tom Waits let loose in a barnyard. Bold and scattily brilliant. – Time Out, June 30-July 7 2004

A Hawk & a Hacksaw : “Délivrance”

MI0002405577

Good reviews can be found for all these albums on the all music guide & mostly positive customer reviews on Amacuntz. A bit quirky & somewhat up my street I would think.

All on CD.

Cheers Matt, yes I’d seen some mention of them playing on one of the Beirut albums, couldn’t remember which one.

I came across them when trawling through the Leaf Records storefront on Discogs.

Good album that :+1:

Thanks for the reco Chris. I am enjoying these. Anything Beirut-y is always up my strasse.

Really like this new Starsailor album that features 11 varied songs. Nothing prior from them has really got me interested until I had the chance to spin this a few times on a long-haul flight. Highly recommended. Now bought on vinyl :slight_smile:
