thank you.

You're quite welcome.

This thread regards the music group A Hawk and A Hacksaw, who were founded by Neutral Milk Hotel's drummer, and who take world music to a whole new level. Seriously, this is completely amazing mind-blowing music that anyone open to different styles of music thrown together haphazardly can enjoy.

Here's their self-titled debut (which I haven't heard):

and if anyone is interested in more, I purchased their third album on impulse and it's magnificent and I can upload it if need be.

Hmm...should I move this to the international music section? Seems kinda like your standard Balkan gypsy music...is it all instrumental?

**cardboard adolescent** · 05-06-2007, 05:07 PM

it's not completely instrumental, and to be fair it's an american indie musician going around stealing various regions' native sounds

plus i figure it'll get more attention here.

It's not standard Balkan music though there's quite a bit of electronics and other neat weird stuff that work its way in. I have a few albums and they're pretty good. I think NMH's drummer also did some work on Beirut's album Gulag Orkestar.
