Ladyhawk Review

Imagine this:
You listen to a 10-track, 40-minute album that you don’t quite emotionally attach to.. Three days later you have the beats from that album ringing in the back of your head, but for the life of you, you can’t remember where you heard these musical patterns. Eventually you recall the album, “Shots”, and the band, Ladyhawk, whose noise has been taking up space in your mental thinking for days. When you remember, it is an ever-so-sweet moment because rather than simply being pleased that you recalled the band you heard three days ago, you actually feel like you just remembered an album you heard thirteen years ago. This would be because this latest album by Ladyhawk delightfully embodies the sounds of the 90s-Alt-Rock genre. Upon rehearing the album you immediately fall in love with the songs “S.T.H.D.” and “Night You’re Beautiful” and can’t take them off of repeat.
If that scenario doesn’t satiate your music mouth-watering, then maybe the fact that Ladyhawk guitarist Darcy Hancock is the brother of Cornell’s very own Prof. Jeff Hancock of the Communication Department!
