Richard Hawley Autumn Tour 2012 

Praise for ‘Standing At The Sky’s Edge’:

 “A churning, glowering, tumultuous noise…Hawley makes a masterpiece.” 

5/5, The Guardian

“Hawley has upped his game considerably…It’s totally unexpected and completely winning.” 
5/5, The Independent

“A Psychedelic masterpiece.” 4.5/5, SFTW, The Sun

 “Hawley has discharged a beautiful storm of brimstone.” 8/10, NME

“A masterpiece.” The Word

Following the excitement and critical acclaim surrounding Richard Hawley’s seventh studio album, ‘Standing At The Sky’s Edge’, the album charted at number 3, his highest ever entry.

‘Standing At The Sky’s Edge’ has received unanimous praise across the board, as once again, Hawley redefines the musical landscape, taking the bold step to challenge himself and his audience. It’s a euphoric album, a sonic assault on the senses, channelling elements of psychedelia, space rock and ragas with heavy riffs and raw, visceral guitar solos as well as more familiar, tender moments.

Following the recent announcement of his first ever show at O₂ Academy Brixton on October 3^rd, Hawley is pleased to announce the full details of his UK autumn tour:
