Following his June 8th show at London Forum selling out in a matter of weeks, and the announcement of his biggest UK show to date at Brixton Academy on October 3rd, Richard Hawley has confirmed dates for a full-scale autumn UK tour. Tickets for Richard Hawley are onsale this Friday at 9am.
The Brixton Academy show will be part of this new nationwide tour, which is in celebration of Hawley’s much anticipated seventh studio album 'Standing At The Sky’s Edge', which was released on May 7th through Parlophone Records.
The first single from the album, 'Leave Your Body Behind You' – Single Of The Week this week on Shaun Keaveny’s 6Music breakfast show - finds Hawley, inspired by the grief felt at the passing of friends, contemplating our place in the cosmos, coming on all 13th Floor Elevators in a celebratory valediction - urging us to accept how tiny we are in the grand scheme of things and to try and make the most of the time we have. It is available now. For more information go to www.richardhawley.co.uk.
The single encapsulates what is to be found on Hawley’s forthcoming album, ‘Standing At The Sky’s Edge’. Recorded at Sheffield’s Yellow Arch Studio in 2011, the album marks a shift in direction for Hawley. A euphoric, sonic assault on the senses, channelling elements of psychedelia, space rock and ragas with heavy riffs and raw, visceral guitar solos – as well as more familiar, tender moments – it will surprise Hawley fans and peers alike.
