Winter Hacker was a special temporary release from The Hawkshead Bedroom Orchestra. The track was to have been included on their forthcoming debut album but was considered too long to fit the running time and reluctant to edit it. they decided upon releasing it as a, pay what you want digital release for just a few days on Was Ist Das?

A strange deep psychedelic sludge of a track but with faintly submerged musical motifs, it has the strange psychedelic cacophony of “In Menstral Night” era Current 93 cocooned in the final post-chord growl of a Sunn O))) concert.

Part of our agreement with The Hawkshead Bedroom Orchestra was that this track will be made private after the weekend. So while it will no longer be available to purchase after then, all who do purchase it will have it in their Bandcamp collection and be able to re-download it.

The artists have also asked that I don’t divulge their identities at this point, though when the debut album drops, all will be clear. In the meantime, you’re welcome to guess but I’m unable to comment..
