Hawktail’s Sophomore Album ‘Formations’ Due January 2020; Lead Single “Annbjørg” Out Now
Hawktail is back! Accompanying the news that their sophomore studio recording Formations will drop on January 10th, 2020, via Padiddle Records, is the music video for lead single “Annbjørg.” Formations was co-produced by Chris Eldridge of Punch Brothers, and saw the quartet’s members—fiddler Brittany Haas, bassist Paul Kowert, guitarist Jordan Tice, and mandolinist Dominick Leslie—write the album in a mere two months, recording it in four days at Nashville’s Southern Ground Studios. Formations was engineered by Dave Sinko (Edgar Meyer, Béla Fleck, Sam Bush) and mixed by Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Kings of Leon, Shania Twain).
Commenting on the speed, Kowert notes, “We had studio dates to record a quick EP of covers, arrangements we’d been playing live. But we had these strong starts that felt so good that we were like ‘let’s finish THESE instead.’” Tice added, “We’re just trying to find something good to play. We’re not interested in adhering to the same old forms—merely adding some spice to something that we all know how it’s going to end.”
