Lawson Hull
Australian singer and songwriter Lawson Hull merges fascinating prose with cinematic production and artful songcraft on his 2021 EP, Hangin’ Out with Cowboys [Nettwerk]. Personally, he’s “not much for wearing cowboy hats – still working up the courage.” However, much like the title suggests, he’s got a few friends who are. This body of work bottles the expanse of the Outback’s breathtaking vistas into robust guitars, dreamy beats, and chantable hooks. With a little poetic license and tasteful embellishment, Lawson’s deft and dynamic storytelling brings these tracks to life with all the gusto of a classic flick. Inspired by a range of artists from Bon Iver to Bombay Bicycle Club, Lawson first gained attention when his song “Paint” gained millions of Spotify streams. In 2020, he signed to Nettwerk and released his acclaimed debut EP, Dreaming Is Easy
