A Hawk and a Hacksaw

Musical Group

A Hawk and a Hacksaw is a folk/world music project led by Jeremy Barnes (formerly of Neutral Milk Hotel), formed in Albuquerque. The music mixes Balkan and Eastern European influences with accordion, piano and violin (Heather Trost contributes violin). The debut album dates to 2004.

Jeremy Barnes previously played with Neutral Milk Hotel and Bright Eyes (mentioned in reviews). The project draws heavily on Balkan, Eastern European and global folk traditions and has collaborated with the Hun Hangár Ensemble (noted in reviews).

A Hawk and a Hacksaw is Jeremy Barnes's folk/world project rooted in Albuquerque, debuting in 2004. Reviews emphasize Balkan and Eastern European influences, accordion- and piano-driven arrangements, and contributions from violinist Heather Trost. The coverage is appreciative but notes unevenness and impulsive moments.

For:Listeners of Balkan and world-influenced folk, fans of accordion-led ensemble music, followers of Neutral Milk Hotel/indie folk crossovers.

 When Jeremy Barnes and I first meet, he already has a career as an acclaimed percussionist, having played with pillars of the indie scene like Neutral Milk Hotel and Bright Eyes.
