Richard Hawley Vinyl Records
With an anguished, melodic baritone that falls somewhere in the neighbourhood of Scott Walker, Pulp touring guitarist and former Longpigs member Richard Hawley is a songwriter, guitarist, and producer whose elegant, timeless solo work ranges from neo-psychedelic indie rock to vintage roots rock, sweeping, lushly orchestrated ballads, and highly styled romantic pop. He has often used his native Sheffield, England's locations as a muse, particularly on the award-winning trilogy of Cole's Corner, Lady's Bridge, and Truelove's Gutter. He has been nominated several times for the Mercury Prize as well as a Brit Award.
