Biography

Describing himself as “an Aussie take on Tom Petty, but half as good and a touch sader,” Lawson Hull’s modesty does little to conceal his immense musical and lyrical talent. Warm, atmospheric, and spacious, Lawson’s music oozes comfort, and places him amongst the sounds of Australia’s greatest contemporary indie folk voices: think Angus and Julia Stone, Boy and Bear, and #1 Dads. The Central Coast-based artist merges fascinating prose with cinematic production and artful songcraft on his 2021 EP, Hangin’ Out with Cowboys [Nettwerk]. Personally, he “can’t get away with wearing one that often”. However, much like the title suggests, he’s got a few friends who can. This body of work bottles the expanse of the outback’s breathtaking vistas into robust guitars, dreamy beats, and chantable hooks. With a little poetic license and tasteful embellishment, Lawson’s deft and dynamic storytelling brings these tracks to life with all the gusto of a classic flick. Since the EP, Lawson has gifted us with an acoustic version of the much beloved ‘Mexico’, produced by Byron Bay’s Garrett Kato. Then, in mid-2022, he teamed up with Hein Cooper on ‘Maze’, a heady track that ruminates on an exhausting and isolating struggle with anxiety and self-doubt. Before that, we heard ‘Sweetheart’, a collaboration with Nashville songwriter and producer Old Sea Brigade. The track tells the story of a man reminiscing on the earlier days of a relationship.
