A Hawk and a Hacksaw

While associated moreso with the Indie scene than the Prog scene (!), I feel that outright I should mention that I believe this basnd should be included here in the archives...

Their blending of Eastern sounds and melodies along with folkish themes and impressive musicianship proves them as prog as, say, Alamaailman Vasarat or music in that vein.

Anyways, my real intent was to inquire if anyone here in the archives had heard this band, and what you all like/dislike about them...

Personally, I find their album "Darkness at Noon" to be quite good--five stars I'd give it were it on this site (and 4 1/2 or 9/10 anywhere else)--for it is quite good.

It moves a bit like Eastern Post Rock, if there's a such thing, making full use of odd scales on odd instruments and odd vocal spots.

This band deserves some more spotlight than they get in my opinion...so here's a start...

^^Yes please try "Darkness at Noon" for it is without a doubt my favorite by them...


there's really no "hit" album and no "miss" album either in my opinion...so go with whatever you feel like :)
