Premiere: Hayden Calnin – ‘Shutters’

An acoustic re-work...

The internet may bring us closer together, but the world remains – in some instances – frustratingly large.

Hailing from Australia, the music of Hayden Calnin has taken some time to reach these shores. Already a cult hero in his native land, the songwriter's husky tones lend an emotional flair to anything he touches.

There's a hypnotic essence to the songwriter's music, something that truly draws you in. Far from the usual acoustic flair, the electronic flourishes run deeper than mere tokens, allowing Hayden to really re-work his music.

New EP 'Oh, Hunter' drops on December 1st, a six track introduction to a brave new talent. Lead cut 'Shutters' is already online, with Clash able to premiere an alternate version.

An acoustic re-work, the sparse arrangement seems to draw focus towards each word, each note. Deeply atmospheric, it's a beautifully engrossing piece of music.
