HAQ – Walking Walking Falling

Efpi Records is proud to announce that the brand new album by HAQ will be released on February 21st 2011, and that the band will be embarking on a 7 date tour over February and March in support of the release.

The album is called ‘Walking Walking Falling‘ and is the first full length release from the band, following on from their EP which was released in May 2009 (available here). Since then the band have had a line up change (bringing Finnish bass player Eero Tikkanen into the fold) which has altered the group dynamic and direction and has led to them producing a remarkable set of music. The majority of the tunes were composed by co-leaders Anton Hunter (guitar) and Sam Andreae (saxophone), with drummer Finlay Panter contributing the album’s final piece.

‘Walking Walking Falling‘ again features artwork by Angela Guyton, and will be available on CD and as a digital download from the Efpi online shop. HAQ are also embarking on an 7 date tour to celebrate this release, generously supported by Jazz Services through their Touring Support scheme. Dates are as follows (check the Efpi listings or the poster below for more details):

February 22nd – The Wardrobe, Leeds
