Richard Hawley - Truelove's Gutter
Ltd Coloured vinyl
Richard Hawley's sixth studio album, Truelove's Gutter is a testament to his intoxicating song writing talents with eight new compositions. Arrangements on Truelove's Gutter occasionally feature some truly uncommon instrumentation, such as the megabass waterphone and crystal baschet. Eccentric instruments notwithstanding, the lush but minimal production provides a haunting backdrop to Hawley's unique voice and allows him plenty of space for some outstandingly beautiful guitar solos. Truelove's Gutter explores the idea of people or things that are broken in some way, and the fractured and damaged times in which we live, to which Hawley's lyrics profoundly attest.
