The thing that links all of the songs is a sense of the unsaid, whether out of guilt, shame, repression, embarrassment, coyness, whatever it might have been. I realised I am going to say these things, and not all of them are going to make me look good. The album made so many demands, and I just gave myself over to it.It takes only a couple of listens to be sure that it was a risk worth taking. And just a couple more to determine that 34A Firmer Hand34 is the best and boldest record Hamish Hawk has delivered to date. Its a bit of a coming of age record, he says. And a record for the ages.1 Juliet As Epithet2 Machiavelli039s Room3 Big Cat Tattoos4 Nancy Dearest5 Autobiography Of Spy6 You Can Film Me7 Christopher St.8 Men Like Wire9 Questionable Hit10 Disingenuous11 Milk An Ending12 The Hard WonOfficial Hamish Hawk merchandise.Choose colour variant with size above.
