Richard Hawley C/D?

classic classic classic

i'm finished with this response brief, strung-out, waiting for my wife and daughter to return from disney tonight. and this new album -- truelove's gutter -- is so moving to me right now.

Richard Hawley can do no wrong. I will always treasure Cole's Corner.

Yeah, I just finally got around to picking up Truelove's Gutter and it is stunning.

(really wish thered be another girl called eddy collab)

i'd been frantically searching around lala for stuff to download before the big shutdown this week, and the two richard hawley albums i don't own are near the top of my list.

His version of Some Candy Talking is wonderful too

got the False Lights from the Land EP (Remorse Code + 3 new tracks) - very nice, all doomed-sailor-themed stuff

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This Lady's Bridge album's pretty nice.

Yeah; I can listen to Tonight The Streets Are Ours on repeat for hours.

The next disc (Truelove's Gutter) got some nice reviews, but I haven't been able to get into it.

eh, i see upthread that i got into it for at least one day/night; that momentary connection with an album will sometimes happen when i'm ''strung out'' from work.

lol Ned Lady's Bridge is probably his weakest album!

it is still great tho

Good, then everything will be even better.

I concur. I haven't listened to Truelove's Gutter in a while. Need to check that one out. I remember really liking the first track and 'Remorse Code.'

All the talk upthread about Cole's Corner is otm. An amazing album.

Yeah, of the three albums I have Lady's Bridge is definitely my least favorite. Its a complete toss-up as to whether I love Truelove's Gutter or Cole's Corner more - pretty much depends on my mood. Both are fantastic though.

Handy link to the short but sweet thread about A Girl Called Eddy

Somehow I never heard of this guy until recently. Late Night Final is pretty great. Trying to decide which one to get next.

Cole's Corner

they're all great though

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. cosign cole's corner as the best place to start. stunning.

Definitely 'Cole's Corner'.

He's really great autumn music, isn't he? Truelove's Gutter has been my soundtrack for the last few days. Really reminds of No Other by Gene Clark with the sprawling arrangements

dude is a force of nature

Any news about his next release? His impossible to read website says he's in the studio working on it (as of Sept. 5th.)

Now I have to listen to Truelove's Gutter and No Other (my favorite album) back-to-back. What torture.

Standing At The Sky's Edge (Due to be released on 07 May 2012)

Apparently it's supposed to be stripped down and 'psychedelic'. I love the guy so respect whatever he wants to do, but am a little wary of what it's gonna be...

I loved Cole's Corner. What else is good by him?

all of it

Late Night Final - almost as good as Cole's Corner
Lowedges - warm-up act for Cole's Corner, also great. maybe loses some focus in the second half.
Lady's Bridge - follow-up to Cole's Corner, has a few country-ish moments
True Love's Gutter - songs get longer, more epic/langorous arrangements

Very cool. Thanks

Kinda disappointed (but not really) he didn't go with the naming convention of previous albums and just called it "Sky's Edge."

Looking forward to this. I thought Lady's Bridge was weak but True Love's Gutter is pretty amazing.

Cole's Corner is so much better than the others

I'd say "Late Night Final" is right there with it.

This is coming out tomorrow?! I didn't know he had one coming out this year! S-T-O-K-E-D

From the review I'm highly intrigued about the direction he's taking with this album. I'd personally be just as happy with Coles Corner retreads but I'm glad he's expanding the sonic elements.

This is really, really, really good.

Not feeling a whole lot of this year's releases, so high hopes for this being my clear favorite of the year so far.

Listening to this again, first time since Monday; lots of really amazing guitar playing. Definitely his most rocking album, and pretty sprawling and psychedelic and heavy - 9 tracks and just over 50 minutes, iirc. A couple of lovely, quieter moments, too, but some of his lead playing, riffing, and solos are scintillating. Really nice to hear a proper guitarist go for it, none of this plinky plinky post-Edge Coldplay bollocks.

Two minutes into song 1 and I am already sure I'm going to love this.

someone plz tell me there's going to be a vinyl release of this

Only $53.97 on Amazon

jesus christ

Oh man this record really is amazing.

This needs a U.S. release to at least get on the goddamned calendar.

^ Seriously! I may be wrong, but I don't remember there being a separate US release date for his past couple of records. I'm passed the point of spending 18 dollars for an import album.

yeah really. I want to give this guy my money, but $60 is insane

It sort of bums me out that I keep unintentionally stumbling across the new Paul Weller everywhere, but this damned thing can't even get released over here.

So thanks to Pitchfork I now know this is getting a U.S. release. But not until the end of fucking September.
