A distinctive solo debut from Chicago drummer Matt Espy, released on Drag City in 2023. Hawksworth pairs solo percussion with birdsong across five tracks — an unhurried, meditative record that sits comfortably outside genre. Espy has been a fixture of the Chicago music scene since the mid-90s, playing across rock, jazz, and avant-garde contexts, and this album is a singular statement from someone with a lot of ground to draw from. For the record collector, the curious listener, or anyone who appreciates music that takes its time.
