A charismatic figure at the forefront of Scottish indie-pop, Hamish Hawk is an Edinburgh songwriter and frontman of Hamish Hawk & the New Outfit. Deft lyricism, irresistible melodies, and an emotional range that sets him apart from his contemporaries, Hawk offers a confident live show, shapeshifting from pop songster to lilting crooner; from masterful storyteller to wild-eyed lunatic and back again. Hamish Hawk & the New Outfit have appeared in session for Marc Riley (BBC Radio 6 Music) and Vic Galloway (BBC Radio Scotland), and Hawk has opened for This is the Kit, King Creosote, Idlewild and James Yorkston.
'an engaging set of songs ... a gentler soul with a direct eloquence to his music' - The Scotsman
'gorgeous, erudite indie-pop' - Nicola Meighan, BBC Radio Scotland
'[a] glorious debut album ... forces you to stick it on repeat just in case you’ve missed something' - Jim Gellatly, The Scottish Sun
