A Firmer Hand: Vinyl LP Wren Hinds He's An ArabianWriting this album, I opened up my closet, and a skeleton came out. In a caf just around the corner from his Edinburgh flat, Hamish Hawk is contemplating his extraordinary new record, A Firmer Hand.

I realised: I am going to say these things, and not all of them are going to make me look good.
