New Music 2018 - Part 17 - Hawktail - Unless

Acoustic. Bluegrass. Instrumental.

Hawktail - Unless (Padiddle Records, 11 May 2018).

What awaits here is no less than forty-something minutes of acoustic-string-band music virtuosity, courtesy of Brittany Haas (fiddle), Paul Kowert (upright bass), Dominick Leslie (octave mandolin) and Jordan Tice (guitar). Some of it is actually recorded live with an audience and these pieces are intercut with the studio recordings.
