A Hawk and a Hacksaw es una banda originaria de Albuquerque; Nuevo México (Usa), conformada por Jeremy Barnes (iniciador), percusionista; el cual fue primeramente baterista de la banda «Neutral Milk Hotel» (disuelta) y la violinista Heather Trost (la que se sumaría más tarde), juntos conforman melodías cargadas de sonidos que se inspiran en las tradiciones de los Balcanes, pero florecidas por un toque misterioso y osado.

Su repertorio es básicamente instrumental, pero aderezado por voces, sonidos animales, folclor gitano, etc.

Su discografía está compuesta por:
-A Hawk and a Hacksaw (2002 • Cloud Recordings / 2004 • The Leaf Label)
-Darkness at Noon (2005 • The Leaf Label)
-The Way the Wind Blows (2006 • The Leaf Label)
-And the Hun Hangar Ensemble (2007. The Leaf Label)

Su primer disco, fue grabado de forma artesanal destacándose percusiones, trompetas, piano, acordeón, campanas y extrañamente patos, pájaros, cigarras, gallos y otros invitados más…

Su segundo disco (“Darkness at noon”) se carga más con influencias gitanas, jazz hasta mariachis. De esto se desprende un disco alocado y sobretodo divertido.

Ya para su tercer disco, se reúne con la banda originaria de Rumania “Fanfare Ciocarlia” con los que graba, permitiendo imprimirle al disco un acercamiento más fidedigno al folclor rumano. Esta es una producción que destaca de las otras; por un mayor protagonismo vocal y la potencia de los vientos.

    I tried listening to Neutral Milk Hotel but this is so much better. I honestly can't take Jeff Mangum seriously.

    I like to watch youtube videos of gigantic circle pits and walls of death on mute while playing this band. Very amusing.

    For anyone who likes the weirdness of early A Hawk and a Hacksaw (I'm thinking largely of "Darkness at Noon") should try Zelwer/Jean-Marc Zelwer/La Kumpania Zelwer. I find his music a good pair to much of A Hawk and a Hacksaw. I would start with "La Fiancee Aux Yeux De Bois" or "Daissa".

    since i'm from balkan, i can say it they sound too "balkan" actually, it would be better if they ease off a bit and add more western or pop sound too it. also the fact that they are americans doesnt change a bit, they would fit just fine in any of the gypsy "orchestra" bands like Goran Bregovic's etc.

    There's nothing wrong with people outside the Balkans playing music from those parts. Music is not an exclusive right.

    i tend to tag this sort of thing indie-folk, and music from the balkan region, tag balkan. i don't see anything inferior about indie-folk - i love it specifically in some ways, eg certain connotations of wanderlust/escapism - but i've heard ripplings of this debate before, with definite pejorative tone towards it, as being some sort of western plastic sham. i find that annoying

    i'm not really understanding it either but i think the point was made not that beirut, hacksaw or their fans are "fake" (??) but that it's not really "balkan" music, it's balkan-inspired american indie music. obviously hacksaw sticks a lot closer to traditional styles though and beirut draws on a lot of different stuff.

    so if i like beirut etc, i'm a fake, this is just vacuum-packed ready for consumption music for my Western ears??? not really understanding this debate.

    @buhajj - what exactly are you saying? it seems like you want to have it both ways. if it's a new genre then you don't need to hold them to the standards of tradition. of course, even taraf de haidouks mix it up style wise. maybe we don't need to be so concerned with drawing lines and just say that it's balkan-influenced music made by americans, although they have recorded and played with trad groups. i also didn't used to like the guy in hawksaw's vocals, i still don't like some of them but some have grown on me, particularly kertesz. to me, talking about how bands suck for violating some stylistic guidelines is one of the most boring and pretentious things to say about music.
