New Mexico’s A Hawk And A Hacksaw will be playing Oxford’s St Michael At The North Gate church as part of a full European tour to support the release of their new album – You Have Already Gone To The Other World: Music Inspired By Paradjanov’s Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors. The album will be released on 2 April 2013 on LM Duplication.

You Have Already Gone To The Other World is the product of the band’s recent tours doing live soundtracking of the unforgettable and inspirational 1964 film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by the legendary Ukranian director Sergey Paradjanov. The evolution of the soundtrack into something that can stand on its own has led to the release of a double album of new compositions and traditional folk tunes that have been inspired by the surreal folk magic of the film, sprinkled with the wondrous music and foley from this piece of cinematic history.
