With an anguished, melodic baritone that falls somewhere in the neighborhood of Scott Walker, Pulp touring guitarist and former Longpigs member Richard Hawley is a songwriter, guitarist, and producer whose elegant, timeless solo work ranges from neo-psychedelic indie rock to vintage roots rock, sweeping, lushly orchestrated ballads, and highly styled romantic pop. He has often used his native Sheffield, England's locations as a muse, particularly on the award-winning trilogy of Cole's Corner, Lady's Bridge, and Truelove's Gutter. He has been nominated several times for the Mercury Prize as well as a Brit Award. In addition to his solo recordings and his presence in Pulp, Hawley has worked with a variety of other artists, including collaborations with Lisa Marie Presley, Arctic Monkeys, Manic Street Preachers, Elbow, and Paul Weller, and he has produced recordings by A Girl Called Eddy and Nancy Sinatra. He also scored the award-winning film Funny Cow.
