radio haw

music from the banks of the haw :: Pittsboro, NC ::

Radio Haw creates "bedroom" folk that would fit in the record crate alongside Elliott Smith or Hiss Golden Messenger's early 4-track-recorded Bad Debt. The songs are elevated from the bedroom toward the cosmic on the back of their searching lyrics, crunchy guitars, and ethereal organs. Set all of this in Radio Haw's backyard of tree-shrouded, poison ivy-lined, Haw River paths in the North Carolina Piedmont and the sound rounds out into its own flavor of southern gothic folk rock.

With a vibe that would suit the jukebox of some supernatural roadhouse just out of town, many of the songs off the upcoming album, *counsel of serpents*, started as home demo recordings alongside the unrest of the early 2020s. With lyrical motifs ranging from the exploitation of spirituality to too-long acid trips, *counsel of serpents* speaks to the perils and triumphs of being human in our current world.
