review of 'hawk Medicine' by James Jackson Toth

Imagine Ian Curtis poised atop the Golden Gate Bridge humming “Gloomy Sunday†to himself quietly in the night, a distant look in his watery eyes. That mental picture ought to prepare you for Lazarus’s latest, Hawk Medicine (Temporary Residence), the most haunted and harrowing record you’ll hear all year. Though conceived and written as a full band, the earnest, naked vocals of Trevor Montgomery steal the show. It’s probably mere coincidence, as the two albums were recorded and released around the same time, but Hawk Medicine makes a perfect companion piece to PJ Harvey’s latest, White Chalk—both albums unnerving and sad, both brimming with rare beauty and delicate songs that appear to teeter on the edge of sanity. Fans of Xiu Xiu and Antony & The Johnsons, step right up and meet your new favorite band.A review of upcoming "hawk Medicine" from Hawaiian winter music reviews:
Lazarus - Hawk Medicine
Lazarus started out as the solo project from ex-Tarentel member Trevor Montgomery, and has now exploded into a full band and a spectacular new album entitled "Hawk Medicine". After collaborations with The Papercuts , Lazarus has unleashed another album of either greater brilliance than any of his past solo efforts. His expansion to a full band could not have come at a better time, as its been a while since we've heard any new stuff from Trevor, who's been "hiding" on tours with EITS and the Castanets.The new album is simply breathtaking in its scope and production. Montgomery's voice on this album is simply monumental, its just as likely that you hear these songs coming from mountains as from a person. The entire album is a trip into another man's soul, in fact you feel as if you're parting with a piece of yourself as the album ends. This album is a diamond in the rough, simply trouncing any preconceived notions of the singer-songwriter genre. GET THIS!9/10 more information and ordering at www.temporaryresidence.com
