A Hawk And A Hacksaw
Formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, A Hawk And A Hacksaw was started as a solo project by former Neutral Milk Hotel and Bablicon percussionist, Jeremy Barnes, in 2002. Taking the name from a Cervantes’ Don Quixote, the underlying meaning behind the name—that a person gone mad doesn’t recognize the difference between a hawk and a hacksaw—is actually reflective of Barnes’ Balkan-informed, mostly-instrumental music. It’s zany, complicated, lush, accessible, danceable and reverent of Eastern European folk and klezmer music, all tied into one ever-evolving sound. It’s a far cry from his indie-rock days and associations with Elephant 6, when he drummed with Neutral Milk Hotel.
