H. Hawkline live at Santeria Toscana, Milan (Jessica Bartolini for Live4ever)
H. Hawkline played the Milan venue with Aldous Harding on April 2nd.
H. Hawkline is touring Europe after the release of his fifth album Milk For Flowers last month.
It’s a record which has seen a shift in focus to the voice as an instrument, something dictated by the nature of his newer material.
“I’m not so good at showing vulnerability and I think that’s why, in the past, there’s been a tendency to obscure or make abstract any real emotion, either lyrically or musically,” he explained.
I think this was most apparent with the way I sang, keeping everything as flat and emotionless as possible. It was impossible to do any of those things with this album: I had to sing.
