Release Notes:
Hawk Medicine is the first Lazarus album written and performed as a group, and
it shows. The eccentricities of each member shine brightly, with Montgomery's
voice no longer the grounded base, but more of an ominous presence drifting
above and below. Produced by the band and engineered in large part by Jason
Quever of The Papercuts (for which Montgomery is also a member), Hawk Medicine
imagines an alternate world where Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash take turns
scaring each other with their political ghost stories while driving down a foggy
highway at night with the headlights off. In spite of this darkness, Hawk
Medicine is undoubtedly the most hopeful Lazarus album yet, and it╣s this
precarious balance that also makes it the most mesmerizing.
