If Nick Drake or Bob Dylan had a laptop - this is the sound they'd make.
Bio / Background
Bob Dylan once said folk music should be “romantic, egalitarian and revolutionary”, and that pretty much sums up singer/songwriter Gavin Hammond’s approach to his craft.
“I’d always wondered what kind of album Bob Dylan or Nick Drake would have made if they’d had a laptop,” he says. “So, when I arrived back in London late one summer, I decided to find out. A DJ mate had asked what my tunes were like, so I just put up a couple of mics and went for it. It was straight DIY.”
These accidental, one-take recordings became the basis of his new album 8 Weeks, 11 Days, 12 Hours & 45 Minutes… A mixture of sweet harmonies, mellow guitars, lo-fi beats, strings and vintage synths were added later in his West London flat.
Cambridge-raised Hammond cut his teeth playing bass in one of singer/songwriter Boo Hewardine’s line-ups (kd lang, Natalie Imbruglia), and later took up an invitation to go to Australia, where he toured extensively.
