“This One Was A Little More Calm!” CLASH Meets Hohnen Ford
Singer-songwriter Hohnen Ford, a former Clash Next Wave artist, has released her new four-track EP 'Only A Memory Away' and spoke to Clash about the more relaxed process behind it. She said this release felt calmer than previous ones, partly because the tracks were live-recorded and she had spent more time living with the accompanying videos, easing the pre-release nerves that once sent her on mile-long runs.
The EP includes a cover of Geese's 'Au Pays du Cocaine', a re-recorded "honeysuckle" version of fan favourite 'Tomorrow's Tomorrow' developed while touring with backing musicians Trash Pals, and a cover of 'Wichita Lineman', with the tracklist playfully arranged around the "something old, new, borrowed, blue" theme. Ford explained she prefers covering artists whose voices contrast with her own, saying Cameron Winter of Geese has "such a specific voice and such a specific world" to reinterpret. She also revealed she will support Rufus Wainwright, whom she called one of her heroes, on his North American solo tour this September.
In short
- Hohnen Ford releases calmer, more low-key EP 'Only A Memory Away'
- EP features a Geese cover and reworked 'Tomorrow's Tomorrow'
- She'll support Rufus Wainwright on his North American tour in September
Explained simply
Hohnen Ford is a singer-songwriter who has been championed by the music publication Clash. She has recently released a new four-track EP called "Only A Memory Away."
Ford has described the creation of this EP as a noticeably calmer process compared to her previous work. She partly attributes this to the live recording of the tracks and to spending extra time with the accompanying videos before release, which eased the pre-release nerves that have previously affected her.
The EP features cover versions of songs by other artists alongside a newly recorded version of her own track "Tomorrow's Tomorrow", which was developed whilst touring with backing musicians Trash Pals. Ford has also been announced as support for singer Rufus Wainwright on his North American tour.
