Hamish Hawk has unveiled a cover of ‘So Hard’, Pet Shop Boys’ wonderful song of mistrust and a relationship falling into nothingness, stripping the back to piano, voice and little flutters of guitar that rather wonderfully make the whole thing sound like a Suede song from the debut album or early b-sides. The track comes from his forthcoming Covers II album, which also features his take on Madonna’s ‘Burning Up’, Eurythmics ‘Sweet Dreams’ , as well as songs by Angel Olsen and Sheryl Crow. Hamish Hawk appears at this year’s Krankenhaus Festival on 23 August 2025.
