Australian Indie Folk Artist Lawson Hull Shares Wild West Tune “Cowboys”
Australian singer-songwriter Lawson Hull has announced he will be releasing his new EP Hangin’ Out With Cowboys on August 27th. Leading the way is his dream-folk tune “Cowboys”, introducing the new collection with its lush and refreshing style of Americana as he sings about the “wild west of the music industry”.
“It can be lonely or over-crowded, have you full of excitement and adrenaline or have you pulling your own hair out,” Lawson says. “Either way, for the most part, it’s nothing like you would’ve ever dreamed. You’re a loner because it’s up to you to write the songs and put them out into the world. No one really knows what it is you do or why you do it. Cowboys seem ok with this; being outsiders. In music, there might be some glamour when you get to the top, but for the most part, you’re just a cowboy playing musical chairs, trying to get some traction, trying to get something to land. This year I’ve learnt that confidence goes a long way and backing yourself is vital. Nobody knows how far they’ll go despite their efforts, but hard work pays off somehow, sometimes. You’ve just got to wait for the wind to blow the right way.”
Settling into his sound and his profession, Hull draws in his audience with his slow-burning croon that finds its power through the track’s growing momentum, as the gentle folk beginning turns into a wall of sound.
