MusicFirst LookHear Torn Hawk’s acceptance speechThe macho video artist creates a visually corruptive masterpiece from his perfectly titled new album “Let's Cry and Do Push Ups At The Same Time”ShareLink copied ✔️October 21, 2014MusicFirst LookTextDazed Digital A former advocate of the "the caveman multi-tracking technique", Torn Hawk (AKA Luke Wyatt)’s unique sound is infused with a trippy and decayed aesthetic. His new track, “Acceptance Speech”, from forthcoming album Let's Cry and Do Push Ups At The Same Time, does not disappoint. The narrative builds and builds all the while creating a raw, high-resolution sound that is both mesmerising and strangely haunting. Hawk has been experimenting with his technique and sound since he was a little kid, creating narratives through both music and his hallucinatory, warped VHS-style videos. Last year being his breakout year, he undertook projects on labels as diverse as Beer On The Rug, Rush Hour’s No Label imprint and his own Valcrond Video, and now his brand new album is set to corrupt us all with its psychedelic, arresting brand of madness.
