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 2004This 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”
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.

Has bird on cover = winner. (browellm’s law)
I’ve got the You have already gone to another world LP.
They played on Beiruts Gulag Orkestar LP.
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
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
