Since November 2019 will mark their 50th anniversary, HAWKWIND couldn’t pass on the possibility to release a new record, even though it’s only three years ago that "The Machine Stops" saw the light of day and two years after its follow-up “Into The Woods” was issued – if we don’t count 2018’s “Road To Utopia” which featured fresh cuts of the veterans’ classics. Still, the “More Of The Same” formula has always worked wonders for this band, so “All Aboard The Skylark” is to be out on October 25th – coupled with a concert album titled “Acoustic Daze”: a studio replication of the ensemble’s tour trick where they opened for themselves with an unplugged showcase of the collective’s perennials.
Unlike the CD version, it’s going to be two separate LPs on vinyl, with the acoustic one receiving a run limited to 1,000 copies worldwide. But the focus will be on “Skylark” which is said to reflect the group’s return to their space-rock base.
