NEW ALBUM – COLES CORNER – OUT 5th SEP 2005
NEW SINGLE – THE OCEAN – OUT 22nd AUGUST

"His voice is up there will the all time greats" - Scott Walker

Richard Hawley releases a brand new single, The Ocean, on 22nd August 2005. The Ocean is the first single to be taken from Coles Corner, out on 5th September 2005, Hawley’s first album release for Mute. The Ocean will be available on CD and 7”, the 7” includes exclusive new track, Kelham Island.

The Ocean is one of the standout tracks from the album. Orchestral, soaring and intimate, the autobiographical single was written whilst Hawley was on holiday with his family and the video, directed by Laurence Easeman (The Coral, Polyphonic Spree), was shot on location in Cornwall, around the Minack Theatre.

The album title, Coles Corner, refers to an old meeting place for courting couples in Hawley’s hometown, Sheffield. Coles Corner is still a meeting place for many generations in Sheffield despite its demolition in 1969.

Richard Hawley plays two UK shows in September, one in his home town of Sheffield.

8th September The Scala London £10.00
11th September The Leadmill Sheffield £10.00
