Dear reader, are you ready for the return of an artist we've been following closely for years? We introduced you to Lawson Hull on the same day as another notable Australian artist, Harrison Storm. Both artists share a common thread—they are signed to Nettwerk, a label that has consistently delighted us with its roster of talents. As we listened to Lawson Hull's latest single, "Strange," we invite you to explore a delicately designed musical universe—a blend of indie-folk, folk-rock, and poetry, all expertly woven into his musical creations.

In the world of "Strange," Lawson Hull gives us a meditative atmosphere, inviting introspection about the themes of personal growth and the fear of failure. And it's soooo relatable!

Hull, much like his Australian counterpart Harrison Storm, wrote this song during the pandemic.

While one might wonder if the wave of COVID-inspired songs is subsiding, these compositions bear a unique mark—they are a sonic encapsulation of a period when the world collectively paused to reflect.

And Hull eloquently shares his perspective: "During the height of the pandemic, I remember thinking this is as good a time as any to reinvent myself, do something else with my life, maybe take up new hobbies. Everyone was kind of neutralized and put on the same level in some ways. But by the time the world started opening up again, I felt like I wasn't ready to be the 'new' me I was supposedly going to become. I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary yet. What if I get out there and everything falls apart?"

The melody gracefully follows the contours of the artist's mood, traversing alternating feelings of melancholy and hope. As you listen, you'll find yourself captivated by the minimalist but very meticulously crafted production. Yes, he loves details, and so do we. The accompanying music video, a visual feast shot by Ian Tyley, adds another shot of power to this masterpiece.

In "Strange," we discover the ingredients of a relatable song, which could also be a companion for the rainy autumn days, a solace while waiting for the sun outside the window.  As you immerse yourself in this song, you'll find peace in its poignancy and grace.

With each song, he crafts a new universe. And you find yourself quickly thinking and dreaming again.
