A Hawk and A Hacksaw is a musical project led by Jeremy Barnes, former drummer for Neutral Milk Hotel. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Barnes creates a playfully gothic atmosphere with his multi-layered, frantic compositions. Mixing field recordings with accordion, piano and bursts of drunken choruses, he generates a singular and unnerving orchestral whole.

Influenced by everything from Eastern European folk music to Pierre Schaeffer to Spike Jones & His City Slickers, A Hawk and A Hacksaw's music defies boundaries. Their songs can take unexpected directions based on the sound of a dog's bark or a phone ringing. Cacophony and sweet hymn-like harmonies coexist in entertainingly unpredictable passages.

Inspired by Paradjanov's "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors," "You Have Already Gone To The Other World" is A Hawk And A Hacksaw's 6th full length. Across 16 tracks the duo rework nine Ukrainian, Hungarian and Romanian traditional songs along with seven originals inspired, as ever, by Eastern European folk culture. Produced by John Dieterich of Deerhoof, this is the first A Hawk and A Hacksaw album for some time to feature only its two primary members (with the exception of two tracks where Dietrich lends guitar) but the instrumentation is not minimal. Dieterich's sense of musical experimentation has driven the group into new territories of folk psychedelia that explodes with rich ornamentation.
