Three (drei) This and That –
• Jars of Clay lead singer/songwriter Dan Haseltine has a new side project called The Hawks in Paris. Their full-length debut Freaks will be released October 29. An EP is available from NoiseTrade featuring four exclusive mixes and outtakes from the band. The Hawk in Paris is also comprised of producer/writer Matthew Bronlewee (Paul Van Dyke, Selena Gomez), and producer/writer Jeremy Bose (The Band Perry, Amy Grant, Sugar + The Hi-Lows). The Hawk in Paris formed when three college friends reunited after 10 years and explored sounds outside the realm of their day jobs. The trio has created an electronically laced album influenced by 80s-synth and early 90s trip hop. Freaks draws from pioneers of electronic music such as Massive Attack, Kraftwerk, Portishead and finds inspiration in 80s-synth groups including Eurythmics and Depeche Mode. Modern day influences include M83, The Postal Service, and Gotye. The group previously released a seven-song EP, His + Hers, in 2012. To download the EP, go to http://noisetrade.com/thehawkinparis
