Album of the Week: Hemi Hemingway - 'Wings of Desire'

95bFM Album of the Week: Hemi Hemingway - 'Wings of Desire'

If you’ve got a hankering to do some yearning, then Hemi Hemingway has just the thing to hit the spot, his new album Wings of Desire

Wings of Desire combines the romantic ‘50s and ‘60s influences familiar to Hemi Hemingway with a newfound obsession with gothy ‘80s post-punk and New Romantic.

Hemingway describes Wings of Desire as a rebirth. It’s not just a sonic and aesthetic invigoration, but a culmination of his attempt to capture something honest and pure through the conduit of Hemi Hemingway. “It feels like I have connected with Hemi Hemingway a lot more with this album,” he says. “I’m trying to lean in fully, and do it unapologetically. It feels a lot more like me.”

Out this Friday 20 February, wherever good music is found.
