Brand new first single taken from the Coles Corner album, Hawley's first release for Mute. 'The Ocean' is one of the standout tracks from the album. Orchestral, soaring & intimate, the autobiographical single was written while Hawley was on holiday with his family. Single version & album version 2 track CD. 2005.

优雅神秘男声 Richard Hawley 《Late Night Final》
飘渺梦境般里的优雅神秘男声在屋里轻漾，缓缓地勾勒出心中早已经存在的那座忧伤的城堡，那些在生命中错过的，那些曾经迷失的，那些怀疑的，那些痛苦的……这样的音乐本就是属于夜晚的。
或许就睡前音乐这个主题而论，《Late night Final》这样一张摇滚专辑放在这里还是多少有点不合时宜，它也许更多的属于旅行的背包，但是听这样的音乐它至少能让你在清醒中睡去，决不会有自我欺骗的可能，迎接你的会是一个无比踏实的睡眠。

2009 release, the sixth solo album from this Sheffield, England singer/songwriter and former Pulp sideman. The album's lush production provides a haunting backdrop to Hawley's unique voice and allows plenty of space for beautiful guitar solos. 'I wanted it to be a listening experience from start to finish, where you couldn't just pause it and go off and watch Coronation Street or whatever,' explains Hawley. 'Sonically, it flows. It's not jumping all over the place. It just has a mood that goes through the whole thing.' Thematically his darkest work to date, Truelove's Gutter explores the idea of people or things that are broken in some way, and the fractured and damaged times in which we live, to which Hawley's lyrics profoundly attest.

Prior to the release of this, his debut album, Richard Hawley's greatest claim to fame was playing guitar on All Saints' version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge". This shouldn't be held against him too hard--and nor, while we're taking other offences into consideration, should his session work for Robbie Williams and Finley Quaye. A chap has to make a living and, much more importantly, Richard Hawley is a modestly lovely record--if this is what he's spent his savings on, it's been well worth it. It does seem extraordinary, however, that Hawley has been content to keep his mouth shut when playing behind such patently inferior singers--no disrespect intended to his previous employers, as most people would sound a patently inferior singer in his company. His voice has both the hoarse whisper of Elliott Smith and the tremulous falsetto reminiscent of Chris Isaak, and his songs--humble epics in the Lambchop mode--are mostly worthy of it. This is a commendable start. --Andrew Mueller

2007 album from the critically acclaimed British singer/songwriter, his fifth solo set overall. Before he began his solo career, Hawley was a member of Longpigs and Pulp, amongst others. The album, an elegiac ode to Hawley's native Sheffield, England, follows up 2005's stately Mercury Prize nominee Coles Corner. 11 tracks including the single 'Tonight The Streets Are Ours'. Mute. 2007

Delighted to have Richard Hawley return with his new LP Further.
