Fresh off the release of their live double 10", BBC Radio 1, OM are ready to rumble through Europe for the first time in the new decade!

VISIONS OF SPLENDOUR

posted January 6th, 2020

Hamerkop's forthcoming debut, Remote, is a fully immersive sonic experience with elements of electronica, pop and field recordings combining to a danceable, dazzling degree.
 



Consisting of Bachelorette's Annabel Alpers and drummer/engineer Adam Cooke, Hamerkop exudes equal parts romance and ennui.
