Red Goddess (of this men shall know nothing), by Hawthonn

Red Goddess (of this men shall know nothing)

by Hawthonn

supported by

Levrikon Airy ambient soundscapes with haunting female vocals giving us a feminist album more radical than a thousand riot grrl cuts. Reminds me of Anna Von Hausswolff, or Natural Snow Buildings at their least extreme. Favorite track: Lady of the Flood.

The music of Hawthonn is dense and atmospheric, but not
inaccessible. Experimental electronic techniques fuse
with doom-laden organ riffs, crystalline piano, elemental
drones and haunting vocals. Largely guided by their own
unconscious muse, the band’s chief inspirations lie outside
of music, in Romantic poetry, dreams and reveries, esoteric
symbolism, the history of magic and witchcraft, folklore
and the English landscape.

Hawthonn is Leeds-based duo Layla Legard and Phil
Legard. Having previously collaborated in music, as well
as text and photography, they officially formed in 2014
to deepen their uniquely imaginative approach to musicmaking.
Often developing from obsessive explorations
of a particular theme, their work precipitates dreams and
imaginative journeys, which inform the direction of their
music. Their earliest music explored the afterlife mythos of
Coil’s Jhonn Balance through the image of the Hawthorn
tree and Cumbrian landscape where his ashes were scattered.
Their approach draws lyricism from the psychoacoustic
phenomena of “phantom words”—sonic textures translated
from geographical space into droning sound spectra, and
verbalized dream imagery.

The prime symbol of Red Goddess (Of This Men Shall
Know Nothing), is mugwort. An herb associated with
dreaming, travel and menstruation, mugwort particularly
favors edgelands: those abandoned, untended places, part
man-made, part rural, where nature begins to reclaim what
humanity has left behind. The music here unfolds a mandala
of symbolism from these liminal spaces, drawn from a
web of fascinations which unfolded during the recording
process.

a fantastic voyage, exquisite beauty, shrill dissonance, soars, crashes, flails in impossible depths, triumphs, cries, static electricity, thin, hollow, achingly alive, incantations of human fragility and grace, press this to vinyl! i beg you! jgladden

Earth Mirror
by Hawthonn

supported by 36 fans who also own “Red Goddess (of this men shall know nothing)”

Memerizing and haunting while also beautiful and sedating. Earth Mirror is a beautiful record and Hawthonn a superb and necessary project. We are far apart on the political spectrum and also geographically but this music makes a real connection with me. Superb! Bill Shannon
