The ecstatic, communal sound of Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost and friends comes back to Europe.

From their home in deepest New Mexico, A Hawk and A Hacksaw present their new album "Cervantine" - the first release on their brand new label, L.M. Dupli-cation. This is the finest document of this band's roving spirit yet: the record that gloriously connects their fascination with the folk and gypsy groups of former Yugoslavia, Greece and Romania to their original base in the desert plains of the American Southwest.

It's the vibrant sound of an American band whose geographical and cultural travels have come to bear on their already distinctive music, to unique and dazzling effect. "Cervantine" is where A Hawk and A Hacksaw really take flight.

Support from Dan Haywood's New Hawks, promoting their 32 song triple vinyl/double cd/download album:

“This strong, 32 –song album is positively livid with ideas and resists easy categorisation” THE WIRE MAGAZINE

"A wild-eyed mix of cosmic country and chamber-folk......makes for a thrilling noise.” UNCUT MAGAZINE

“Charmingly, it succeeds in being both engaging and oddly uplifting while also being as dour in texture as a North Sea shoreline.” INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

“Defiantly individual.... Surely a future cult classic, it's raw takes on folk and country are a timeless delight.” 24/7 MAGAZINE

“A grand, definitive statement...sacrificing none of his unique poetic elegance for the sake of either conformity or convention ” THE LINE OF BEST FIT

“A lifework in its extensive meditations.." SHINDIG MAGAZINE

"The type of record that someone, somewhere is going to fall helplessly in love with - it could even be me...” NORMANS RECORDS

“Epic...fervent and profound” THE FLY
