Hawksley Workman Announces Two New Albums & National Canadian Tour
2010 is going to be an exciting year for Hawksley Workman, as he adds fresh material from not one but two new albums to his live repertoire for his biggest national Canadian tour to date. From the compelling opening yodel found on his debut album, For Him and the Girls, to this very day, Hawksley Workman has refused to mark just one territory on Canada’s musical landscape. Hawksley roams like a rogue force: unpredictable, dramatic, exuberant, and focused on the pursuit of a sound that is never static, but always highly identifiable. Two new albums, numbering eleven and twelve in the Hawksley Workman catalogue, mark new terrain for this moving musical target. Entitled Meat and Milk respectively, the music traverses in great leaps and bounds the stylistic differences between tracks, while always keeping one foot firmly planted in Hawksley Workman territory. The albums take you from bright, dance pop extravaganzas to dark, warring times where the battle is long over only the repeated and brutal refrain of heartbreak and defeat remains. Hawksley writes songs that have staying power, and now 12 albums into a career that has taken him from indie to major and back again, he is ready for another round. Meat hits the streets on January 19, 2010, while the songs from Milk will be released via a non-traditional digital strategy which will unleash singles from the album over a five-month period.
Hawksley will be touring across the country in support of the release, going to theatres never visited before as well as coming back to now-favourite venues such as Toronto’s Massey Hall.
