Hamish Hawk has unveiled ‘Men Like Wire’, the latest preview of his upcoming record A Firmer Hand. Following previous cuts ‘Big Cat Tattoos’ and ‘Nancy Dearest’, the track comes paired with a video directed by Andrew Pearson, the guitarist in Hawk’s live band and co-songwriter. Check it out below.
“In ‘Bakerloo, Unbecoming’, I wrote ‘essentially it comes down [again] to the limitless mysteries of other men’,” Hawk said in a press release. “‘Men Like Wire’ is a deeper excavation of that idea. In short, it’s about men. Men I have and haven’t known, men I’ve seen, heard, loved and lost. Men I’ve been seated next to at weddings, bus stops and dinner parties, on trains, beds and park benches. They’re all in there, for better, for worse.”
A Firmer Hand will be released on August 16.
