Richard Hawley releases his new album ‘Lady’s Bridge’ on 20th August on Mute. The album’s title ‘Lady’s Bridge’ is a Sheffield landmark and the oldest bridge to cross the river Don. “I used to walk across it nearly every day, it was a gateway from the poor bit of town to the rich bit” - Richard Hawley

The album was recorded at Yellow Arch Studio in Neepsend, Sheffield in the dilapidated building that Hawley had helped out with the restoration of almost four years ago.

Yellow Arch gives Hawley what he calls “that Sun Studio red light factor” and the pressure of turning up with the bones of an idea and leaving with a masterpiece.

Back in January he began recording with 40 songs in various states of togetherness. Four months later he left with 11 classics to add to the Hawley cannon.

2. Roll River Roll
3. Serious
4. Tonight The Streets Are Ours
5. Lady Solitude
6. Dark Road
7. The Sea Calls

10. Our Darkness
11. The Sun Refused To Shine
