Hamish Hawk returns with Angel Numbers, an album of remarkable scope and vivid, romantic lyricism.
Hamish Hawk is an outsider’s outsider with a fast-track ticket to natural treasure status. In a just world, the majestic Angel Numbers will make him a breakout star. Make it happen.
Producer Rod Jones has somehow managed to combine all of this with a deft touch that lends the record an air of ageless grandeur that swerves any time-stamped genre or scene. Angel Numbers is a timeless record that combines beauty, joy, and sublime observations.
Hamish Hawk has produced an album full of the peaks and troughs of the human spirit, full of various sonic landscapes and yet connected by angels throughout. Its an evolution on from Heavy Elevator, and demonstrates the versatility, creativity, imagination and sheer talent of its creator.
Just to balance out the wierdo who hasn't listened and gave it a 0
EDIT: He deleted his rating. Lol.
I don't see where the critics get all the hype from, it's very overrated and really it's just a decent album. There's nothing bad, I think that the paid critics are being a lil over zealous.
I think that the album is really enjoyable and that Hamish's voice is a highlight. It verges on post-punk in nature at times, and it's perfectly emotional. The heartfelt messages to people in the album are a highlight for me. It feels almost as if Hamish is addressing each individual listener with his music.
